Part = 45
Whole = 90
% = ??
Part = % ´ Whole
45 = n ´ 90
n = 45 ¸ 90
n = .5
n = 50%
So 45 is 50% of 90.
Part = 12
Whole = ??
Percent = 8%
12 = .08 ´ n
12 ¸ .08 = n
n = 150
So 12 is 8% of 150.
There is a great way to identify the part and the whole in a percent problem.
The Part is usually next to the word is
This tells us that the Part is 105 and the Whole is 75, the Percent is unknown.
Part = % ´ Whole
105 = n ´ 75
n = 105 ¸ 75
n = 1.4
n = 140 %
Part = % ´ Whole
48 = .20 ´ n
n = 48 ¸ .20
n = 240
So 48 is 20% of 240.
