Example Question #1182 : Hspt Mathematics
What is the percentage of male students in a class if are male out of
students?
First you want to make a proportion so of the class are male.
You can reduce this fraction by since both the numerator and denominator are divisible by it.
This gives you which as a decimal is
.
To make that into a percentage, you multiple by and add a "%" symbol.
So that gives you .

Example Question #12 : Use Proportional Relationships To Solve Multistep Ratio And Percent Problems: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Rp.A.3
If you get a 25% discount, what percentage of the original price will you have to pay?
The original price will represent 100% of the item price since that represents the whole for the problem.
If you get 25% off, you must take that away from the 100%.
so you will have to pay 75% of the original price.

Example Question #14 : Use Proportional Relationships To Solve Multistep Ratio And Percent Problems: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Rp.A.3
A sweater was originally , but the department store is running a
off sale. What is the sale price of the sweater?
In order to solve this problem, we need to calculate of
. The key word "of" is indicative of multiplication; however, we need to start by converting the percentage into a decimal because you cannot multiply a number by a percent.
We can convert a percent into a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left:
Next, we can multiply:
Remember, we are taking off the original price, which means we need to subtract.
