(notice that this corresponds to 100%).Step 2: Remember that we are looking for the percentage 'percentage'.
To solve this question, use the following formula:
X% = 100 × PW
This formula says that:
"To find the percentage from the whole, knowing the part, divide the part by the whole then multiply the result by 100".
Step 3: replacing the values into the formula, we get:
X% = 100 × 3140
X% = 300140
X% = 2.14 (answer)
So, the answer is 3 is 2.14 percent of 140

X = PW
"To find 'P' out of 'W', just divide the part by the whole.". So,
X = 3140
X = 3140 = 0.0214
Thus, the answer is 3 is 0.0214 out of 140 as a decimal.
