 DEFINITION
• PERCENTAGE- is the number • BASE - is the whole amount or
or the amount that represents the entire amount
a part of the whole.
• - usually after the word “of”
• - after the word “is”
Formula
Formula
• Base = Percentage
• Percentage = Base x Rate
Rate
RATE- is the number compared to
Rate = Percentage
100
Base - Usually has the percent %
symbol
Techan’s Triangle
To find the percentage:

What is 96% of 50?

 Change the rate to decimal numbers
96% = move 2 decimal places to the left (0.96)
 And solve using the formula
 P = Base x rate
= 50 x 0.96
P = 48 her score
Example
2. Give 30 % of
1. What is 80% of 200? 150?

P=BXR P=BxR
= 200 X ( 0.8) = 150 x (0.3)
P = 160 P = 45
Practice Task
Solution: • 3. 6% of 200 = N
P=BxR
1. 75% of 100
= 200 x 0.06
P=BxR
= 12 (e)
= 100 x 0.75
4. 12% of 400
= 75 ©
P=BxR
2. 60% of 90
= 400 x 0.12
P=BxR
= 48 ( b)
= 90 x 0.6
5. 25 % of 240
= 54 ( d)
P=BxR
= 240 x 0.25
= 60 (a)

3. 40 75%
4. 300 40%
5. 60 25%
Generalization
To find the percentage use the formula: Percentage = Rate x Base (P = R x B)
Express the rate as a decimal by moving the decimals by moving the decimal
point twice from the left. Multiply the number following the steps in
multiplication.
