a = part of the whole

p = percent

b = whole

What is 38% of 126?

• 47.88

• Convert 38% into a decimal, then multiply it by 126.

a = p * b

a = 0.38 x 126

a = 47.88

36 is what percent of 94?

Round to the nearest hundredth

38.30%

Divide 36 by 94

a = p * b

36 = p * 94

36 = 94p

p = 0.38297 ← Write as a percentage!

6 is 20% of what number?

30

Convert 20% into a decimal, and then divide 6 by that decimal (0.20)

a = p * b

6 = 0.20 * b

6 = 0.20b

b = 30
