Answer:
113.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
let the unknown percentage be x%
hence we can re-write the given question as a mathematical equation
"What percent of 123 is 140" can be re-written mathematically as:
x% of 123 = 140
x/100 of 123 = 140
( x/100 )123 = 140 (multiply both sides by 100)
x(123) = 140 x 100
x(123) = 14000 (divide both sides by 123)
x = 14000 / 123
x = 113.8%
