divide the part, by the whole, then multiply your answer by 100
Divide (the known part) by (the percent). The quotient is the whole unknown number.
Part = Base*Percent/100Proportion = Part/Base = (Base*Percent/100)*Base = Percent/100.
You cannot write it as a percent until you know what part it is of a whole. However, if we assume that 180 is the only number, then it is 100% of 180. Therefore, we write 180 as 100%
20 / 200 = 0.10 20 is 10 percent of 200.
Part = Whole*Percent/100
Divide a part of the whole by the whole and then multiply what you get by 100. This will give you the percentage of the part.
part over whole

When expressing a math problem in words, the word "of" almost always means "multiply". Say that you know that 1199.91 is [equals] 23 percent of a number. The right side of the obvious equation is .23(a number), or .23x. 1199.91 equals .23x and all you have to do is divide both sides by .23 to find your answer. 1199.91/.23 is equal to 5217. If you have the part and the percent but you need to find the whole then this is the equation....for example 11 is 80% of_____? to figure it out you use this part over whole =percent over 100.... P =part, w=whole, and percent=x it looks like p x _ = _ w 100 The anser to my example one is W=13.75
The whole part - all of it.
Part = Base*Percent/100Proportion = Part/Base = (Base*Percent/100)*Base = Percent/100.
a part of a whole
Divide 100 by the known percentage and multiply the result by the known part. This will calculate the whole. Example: £10 is equal to 25%. Thus the whole = (100/25) * 10 = £40.
