First you put the rate over the base and the percent over a hundred.
Example: what is 2 of 50%?
2 is the base
50 goes over 100 like so 50/100
so then your equation is ...
R/2=50/100
Then you cross multiply and you are done. you found your answer.
Ratios or fractions can be used to present proportions.
Interest and percent I know. Proportions are useful for finding that.
Gabbro is made of these minerals. The proportions can vary.
It is not 6 like he previous person said, the answer will be solved by using proportions.
The formula to calculate proportions is: (part/whole) = (part/whole). This formula compares a part to the whole by setting up two ratios equal to each other.
A percent is a specific type of proportion that expresses a number as a fraction of 100. For example, if you say 25%, it means 25 out of 100 or 25/100. Both concepts represent a relationship between a part and a whole, but percent specifically scales that relationship to a base of 100. Thus, all percentages are proportions, but not all proportions are expressed as percentages.
ratios and proportions units, dimensions, and conversions logarithms arithmetic mean, error, percent error, and percent deviation just to name a few
Obviously 100% viscose is made wholly of viscose - while 50/50 is a mix of equal proportions of cotton and viscose !
Proportions 77 X 100 64 Work: 77*64/100= 49.28 -EAgamer999
To turn a percent into a factor, divide the percentage by 100. For example, to convert 25% into a factor, you calculate 25 ÷ 100, which equals 0.25. This factor can then be used for calculations involving proportions or scaling.
Use proportions. 132/825=x/100. 132*100/825= 16%
well you use the proportions method and do 4.6/100=x/5 and you can multiply 5x20 to get 100,so to get the answer, you divide 4.6 by 20 which is .23 so 4.6 percent of 5 is .23
