These fractions represent the only three ways to convert fractions to decimals. The denominator: a.) Is one of the place valuesb.) Divides evenly into one of the place values: Multiply top and bottom by that amountc.) Either does not divide evenly into a place value, or you are not sure: Divide the numerator by the denominator

Solving Percent Problems

Percent IS

100 OF

=

% = is unknown

100 of25 = x 100 60

Cross multiply to find: 100x = 30(80)

30% of 80 is what number?

When solving for the part, it’s often easier to multiply the whole by the decimal form of the percent:

80x .3

24

% = is

100 of20 = 30 100 x

Cross multiply to find: 20x = 30(100)

20x = 3000 (divide both sides by 20)

x = 150

20% of what number is 30?

x = 6, so our answer is 6%

What percent of 200 is 12?% = is 100 of

x = 12 100 200

200x = 12(100)

200x = 1200

% = is 100 of

x = 36 100 150

1. What is 45% of 120? What are we solving for?

45 = x 100 120

First try using mental math to solve

Then set up a proportion

3. 48 is 300% of what number?

2. 36 is what percent of 30? x = 36

100 30
