Solution

Formulating an equation to calculate percentage:
The percentage is a rate, number, or amount in each hundred.
Thus, the percentage that allows us to calculate the number of people that filed their taxes during the week of April $15^{t h}$ is given as
$\Rightarrow \frac{a}{b} \times 100$
Where $a$ is the number of people who have filed their taxes during the week of April $15^{t h}$ and $b$ represents the number of people who filed their taxes that year.
For example, if $100$ people filed their taxes during the week of April $15^{t h}$ and $1000$ people filed their taxes that year, then the percentage of people who filed their taxes during the week of April $15^{t h}$ would be,
$= \frac{100}{1000} \times 100$
$= 10 %$ .
Hence, the equation that would allow us to calculate the percentage is : $\frac{a}{b} \times 100$
