if we take the $1175 to be the 100%, what is $47 in percentage? well
[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
1175&100\\
47&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1175}{47}=\cfrac{100}{x}[/tex]
solve for "x"
