Example Question #14 : How To Find The Part From The Whole With Percentage
In order to convert numbers to a percent, it is easiest to set up a ratio.
We know that percent is just per-cent or per-100, another way to write this is to divide the number by 100.
We would set up the ratio below with x being the number we are looking for:
Now we cross multiply 25 times x and 12 times 100 to get:
Dividing both sides by 25 will give us the percent.
On the left side the 25's will cancel to give us x, on the right side we may need to do some long division to eventually find that 1200/25 = 48.
Example Question #14 : How To Find The Part From The Whole With Percentage
Refer to the above figure, which is a circle divided into portions of equal size.
How many more portions must be shaded in if 75% of the entire circle is to be shaded in?
The circle is divided into 16 portions; 75% of this is
5 portions are already shaded in, so it is necessary to shade in
Example Question #17 : How To Find The Part From The Whole With Percentage
Refer to the above figure, which is a rectangle divided into squares of equal size.
How many more squares must be shaded in if 60% of the entire rectangle is to be shaded in?
The rectangle is divided into 20 squares; 60% of this is
7 squares are already shaded in, so it is necessary to shade in
Example Question #18 : How To Find The Part From The Whole With Percentage
What is 63% of 300 ?
To find a percentage of a whole number, we will multiply the percentage by the whole number. So, we get
Now, the zeros can cancel out. So, we get
Therefore, 63% of 300 is 189.
Example Question #21 : Percentage
32% of cats are orange. The rest of the cats are grey. There are 300 cats. How many are grey?
First, we need to determine the percentage of cats that are grey. To do this, we subtract 
The quick estimation method allows us to compute this problem quickly and save time on later questions. To begin, we need to determine 10% of the total amount of cats. In order to find 10% of a number, simply move the decimal point one place to the left. So, 10% of 300 cats is 30 cats.
We want to determine how many cats constitute 68% of the total amount of cats. 68% can be rounded to 70% in order to estimate and find the closest answer choice. 70% is 7 times 10% so all we need to do is multiply 10% (30 cats) by 7. Therefore,
Now, look at the answer choices and choose the one closest to your estimation. Keep in mind that we over estimated, so the answer you choose should be slightly less.
