Explanation:

Column 1

Step6: Find 85% of 60.

$\text{Correct answers} = 60 \times \frac{85}{100} = 51$

Step7: Find whole from part/percent.

$\text{Total 7th graders} = \frac{150}{\frac{62.5}{100}} = 150 \times \frac{100}{62.5} = 240$

Step8: Calculate win percentage.

$\text{Win percent} = \frac{21}{35} \times 100 = 60\%$

Step9: Find whole from part/percent.

$\text{Kayla's boxes} = \frac{18}{\frac{20}{100}} = 18 \times \frac{100}{20} = 90$

Step10: Find 56% of 75.

$\text{Students in musical} = 75 \times \frac{56}{100} = 42$

Column 2

Step Light Blue: Calculate usage percent.

$\text{Usage percent} = \frac{90}{125} \times 100 = 72\%$

Step Dark Blue: Find total shots.

$\text{Total shots} = \frac{63}{\frac{70}{100}} = 63 \times \frac{100}{70} = 90$

Step Light Purple: Find 48% of 500.

$\text{Miles driven} = 500 \times \frac{48}{100} = 240$

Step Dark Purple: Calculate vote percent.

$\text{Vote percent} = \frac{72}{160} \times 100 = 45\%$

Step Pink: Find 92% of 30.

$\text{Minimum correct answers} = 30 \times \frac{92}{100} = 27.6 \approx 28$
