#
Example 1:
25% of 80 is what number?

.25 x 80 = n

20 = n

The number
#
Example 2:
What is 40 % of 120 ?

n = .40 x 120

n = 48

The number
#
Example 3:
24 is 15 % of what number ?

24 = .15 x n
24 ÷ .15 = n

160 The number

#
Example 4:
40% of what number is 28?

.40 x n = 28

n = 28 ÷ .40

n = 70
The number #
Example 5:
18 is what percent of 150?

18 = P x 150

18 ÷ 150 = P
The percent
.12 = P of 150

P = 12% #
Example 6:
What percent of150 is 20?

p x 150 = 20

p = 20 ÷ 150

p = .13333
p = 13.33% #
Example problem:
General Santos Hospital has a 35 hours
training course for volunteer workers.
Students on the course spend 21 hours on
patient care. What percent of the course is
spent on patient care?

What percent of 35 is 21?

p x 35 = 21
p = 21 ÷ 35
