Total value = 60 pounds
Put in the formula
[tex]Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}[/tex]
[tex]95 = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{60}[/tex]
[tex]Part value = \frac{95\times 60}{100}[/tex]
[tex]Part value = \frac{5700}{100}[/tex]
Part value = 57 pounds
Therefore 57 pounds weight is 95 percent of the limit .
Answer:
57 pounds is 95 percent of the limit.
