Main Concepts
Ratios are expressed as “for each” and “per”
Percent means per 100. Percent is a ratio of part compared to 100.
The value of a ratio may be expressed as a decimal, percent, fraction, or mixed number.
To find the percent of a number multiply that number by p/100 where p is the percent (what is 25% of 50? 25/100 x 50 = 12.5).
Solve for the whole given a part and the percent by cross multiplying and dividing. (45 is 90% of what number? 45/90 = x/100, 45 x 100 = 90x, 4500/90 = 50)
Solve for the part given a whole and the percent by cross multiplying and dividing. (60% is what number of 30?)
