The simplest way to solve this problem is to try out every value.


11 % 11\% of 87 87 is the same as 0.11 ( 87 ) = 9.57 0.11(87) = 9.57

22 % 22\% of 65 65 is the same as 0.22 ( 65 ) = 14.3 0.22(65) = 14.3

33 % 33\% of 43 43 is the same as 0.33 ( 43 ) = 14.19 0.33(43) = 14.19

44 % 44\% of 21 21 is the same as 0.44 ( 21 ) = 9.24 0.44(21) = 9.24

Now it's quite clear that the highest value is of 22 % 22\% of 65 65 .
