if we take 72 as the 100%, what is 27 off of it in percentage?
[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 72&100\\ 27&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{72}{27}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{8}{3}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 8x=300 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{300}{8}\implies x=\cfrac{75}{2}\implies x=37.5[/tex]
