Solving Percent Problems
2
To solve a percent problem, remember to use a percent proportion!
ofis=100%
3
First, you have to identify each part of the question.
What is the part (is), what is the whole (of), and what is the percent (%).
4
20 is what percent of 32?
What number represents the part (is)? 20
What number represents the whole (of)? 32
What number represents the percent (%)? Since we do not know the percent, we will replace it with a variable.
5
Now fill in your proportion.
3220=100x
6
Now use CSI to solve.
Cross Multiple 32 times x = 100 x 20
Simplify 32x = 2000
Isolate
3232x=322000x = 62.5%
