Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{38\%\text{ of 500 is 190}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\bold{METHOD\ 1:}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}e&-&100\%\\190&-&38\%\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\(38)(e)=(190)(100)\\\\38e=19000\qquad\text{divide both sides by 38}\\\\\dfrac{38e}{38}=\dfrac{19000}{38}\\\\e=500[/tex]
[tex]\bold{METHOD\ 2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{convert a percent to decimal}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\to38\%=\dfrac{38}{100}=0.38\\\\38\%\ \text{of}\ \bold{e}\ \text{is}\ 190\to0.38\bold{e}=190\qquad\text{divide both sides by 0.38}\\\\\\\dfrac{0.38\bold{e}}{0.38}=\dfrac{190}{0.38}\\\\\bold{e}=500[/tex]
