8. What percent is 126 of 84?

To find out what percent 126 is of 84, we are looking to solve for the percentage (\(V\)) that satisfies the relationship where 126 is \(V\)% of 84. This relationship can be mathematically represented by the equation \(126 = V\% \times 84\). To solve for \(V\), we first convert \(V\)% into a decimal for the calculation by remembering that 1% is equivalent to 0.01 in decimal form. Thus, the equation becomes \(126 = 0.01V \times 84\). Simplifying this equation to solve for \(V\), we divide both sides by 84 and then divide by 0.01 to find \(V\).\[V = \frac{126}{84} \times 100\]Calculating the division first:\[V = 1.5 \times 100\]\[V = 150\]
