Question

complete the following statement. write your answer as a decimal or whole number.
□% of $9,000 = $4,500

Explanation:

Step1: Let the percentage be \( x \). The equation is \( \frac{x}{100} \times 9000 = 4500 \)

Step2: Solve for \( x \). First, simplify the left side: \( 90x = 4500 \) (since \( \frac{x}{100} \times 9000 = 90x \))

Step3: Divide both sides by 90: \( x = \frac{4500}{90} = 50 \)

Answer:

50
