Example Question #233 : Percentage
What is of ?
To find a percentage of a whole, we will first write the percentage as a fraction. We know that all percentages can be written as a number over 100. So,
Now, we will multiply the fraction by the whole number. We get
Now, we can simplify/multiply.
We write 150 as a fraction over 1.
We can cancel out the zero in 150 and the zero in 100.
We can cancel out the zero in 30 and the zero in 10.
Now, we can multiply.
Therefore, of is .
Example Question #905 : Numbers And Operations
What is the sale price of a product that costs if the sale is off the original price?
First, find of :
Then, subtract this value from the whole:
Example Question #234 : Percentage
What is of ?
To find a percentage of a whole, we will multiply the percentage by the whole number. So,
of
can be written as
We know that a percentage can be written as a fraction over 100. So,
Now, we can solve.
We can cancel out the zero in 30 and the zero in 100.
We can cancel out the zero in 10 and the zero in 270.
Now, we multiply.
Therefore, of is .
Example Question #235 : Percentage

of a number is equivalent to
times the number.
Therefore, of 999 is equal to
.
Example Question #236 : Percentage
What is of ?
To find the percentage of a whole, we will multiply the percentage by the whole number. So,
of
can be written as
Now, we know percentages can be written as a number of 100. So,
Now, we can multiply.
We can cancel the zero in 40 and the zero in 100. We get
We can cancel the zero in 10 and the zero in 240. We get
Now, we multiply.
Example Question #51 : 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, given
of
we will multiply. We get
Now, we know a percent is a number of 100. So,
and we can write in fraction form. We get
Now we multiply. To make things easier, we can simplify before we multiply. We can cancel out the zero in and the zero in . So,
We can also cancel the zero in and the zero in . So,
Now, we multiply straight across.
Therefore, of is .
