The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Correct Answer:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

258300\u00d7100=86%\\frac{258}{300} \\times 100 = 86\\%300258\u200b\u00d7100=86%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, 258 is 86% of 300<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To understand this problem, we start by interpreting the question: “258 of the contestants” and then the fraction “300258\\frac{300}{258}258300\u200b” seem to be mistakenly mixed up. Based on the context, the likely intention is to find what percent 258 is of 300 contestants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In percentage problems, the basic idea is to express one quantity as a part of another<\/strong>, scaled out of 100. In other words, a percentage tells us how many parts out of 100 a number represents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find what percent 258 is of 300, we use the formula:Percentage=(PartWhole)\u00d7100\\text{Percentage} = \\left( \\frac{\\text{Part}}{\\text{Whole}} \\right) \\times 100Percentage=(WholePart\u200b)\u00d7100<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, the part<\/strong> is 258 (the number of contestants we’re talking about), and the whole<\/strong> is 300 (the total number of contestants). Plugging the values into the formula:258300\u00d7100=86%\\frac{258}{300} \\times 100 = 86\\%300258\u200b\u00d7100=86%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tells us that 258 represents 86 percent of 300<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A common mistake is to reverse the numbers and calculate 300258\u00d7100\\frac{300}{258} \\times 100258300\u200b\u00d7100, which would incorrectly tell us what percent 300 is of 258\u2014not what we\u2019re being asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Percentages are useful in all areas of life\u2014from test scores to discounts to populations\u2014because they allow us to easily compare values regardless of their actual size<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in this case, if a competition had 300 contestants, and 258 of them passed a round, then 86% of the contestants succeeded<\/strong>. This helps us quickly assess the success rate, efficiency, or performance without needing the actual counts every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
