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.

How does a percent relate to a proportion?

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.
