Example Question #53 : How To Find The Part From The Whole With Percentage
What is of ?
To find a percentage of a whole number, we will multiply the percentage by the whole number.
So, in the problem
of
we can write it as
Now, we will write the percentage as a fraction. To do that, we write the number over 100. So,
To multiply, we also need to write 30 as a fraction. To do that, we write the whole number over 1. So,
Now, before we multiply, we will simplify to make things easier. The zero in 100 can cancel the zero in 30. So,
Now, we will multiply straight across. We get
Therefore, of is .
Example Question #54 : How To Find The Part From The Whole With Percentage
What is of ?
To find a percentage of a whole number, we will multiply the percentage by the whole number. So, in the problem
of
we can write it as
Now, we will write 70% as a fraction. We know that a percentage can be written as the number over 100. So, we get
Now, we will write 150 as a fraction. To write a whole number as a fraction, we will write the number over 1. We get
Now, before we multiply, we can simplify to make things easier.
The zero in 70 can cancel a zero in 100. So,
The zero in 10 can cancel the zero in 150. So,
Now, we can multiply straight across. We get
Therefore, of is .
Example Question #246 : Percentage
What is of ?
To find a percentage of a whole number, we will multiply the percentage by the whole number.
So,
of
can be written as
Now, we will write 20% as a fraction. We know that percentages can be written as the number over 100. So,
Now, we will write 80 as a fraction. We know that whole numbers can be written as the number over 1. So,
Now, we can simplify before multiplying to make things easier. The zero in 20 can cancel a zero in 100. So,
The zero in 10 can cancel the zero in 80. So,
Now, we can multiply straight across. We get
Therefore, of is .

Now, we will write as a fraction. We know that whole numbers can be written as fractions over 1. So, we get
Now, before we multiply, we can simplify to make things easier. The zeros in 100 can cancel the zeros in 500. So, we get
Now, we can multiply straight across. We get
Therefore, of is .
Example Question #911 : Numbers And Operations
What is of ?
To find a percentage of a whole number, we will multiply the percentage by the whole number. So, in the problem
of
we can re-write it like
Now, we can multiply. First, we will write the percentage as a fraction. We know that percentages can be written as fractions over 100. So, we get
Now, we will write 250 as a fraction. We know that whole numbers can be written as fractions over 1. So, we get
Now, before we multiply, we will simplify to make things easier. The zero in 30 and the zero in 100 can cancel. So, we get
Now, the zero in 10 can cancel the zero in 250. So, we get
Now, we can multiply straight across. We get
Therefore, of is .
