Example Question #3201 : Algebra 1
What is 
To find 3% of anything, convert it into a decimal. 3% as a decimal is 0.03.
Then we can multiply 150 by 0.03 to get an answer of 4.5.
We could also get this in another way.
3% is just 
150 is 
Example Question #3201 : Algebra 1
What is 
To find 15% of anything, just multiply by 0.15, its decimal equivalent.
In this case, 327 times 0.15 is 49.05.
Example Question #13 : How To Find The Part From The Whole With Percentage
What is 
To find the part from the whole given a percentage, we multiply the whole by the decimal equivalent of the percentage. To find this, we divide the percentage by one-hundred:
Therefore,

Example Question #3203 : Algebra 1
44 is what percent of 80?
We know that 80 multiplied by some percentage, equals 44. Because a percent is number, divided by 100, we can represent this problem mathematically, as follows:
To get 
Then, multiply both sides of the equation by 100. This gives us:
Simplify.
Thus, 44 is 55% of 80.
