<\/span>Finding the Part<\/h2>\n
\ud83d\udca1 What is 40% of 250?<\/div>\n

This type of problem asks for a specific percentage of a total amount.<\/p>\n

The first step is to convert the percentage to a decimal, which we can do by dividing the percentage by 100:<\/p>\n

\\(40\\% = 40 \\div 100 = 0.40\\)<\/p>\n

Then, all we have to do is multiply our decimal by the total number:<\/p>\n

\\(0.40 \\times 250 = 100\\)<\/p>\n

Therefore, 40% of 250 is 100!<\/p>\n

\n

<\/span>Finding the Whole<\/h2>\n
\ud83d\udca1 17 is 149% of what number?<\/div>\n

This problem provides the part and the percentage, leaving you to find the total amount.<\/p>\n

In this case, the percentage is over 100, which means the “part” (17) is actually larger than the whole we’re looking for.<\/p>\n

The first step is to convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing the percentage by 100:<\/p>\n

\\(149\\% = 149 \\div 100 = 1.49\\)<\/p>\n

Let’s say the whole we’re trying to find is \\(x\\). We can set up this equation:<\/p>\n

\\(17=1.49\\times x\\)<\/p>\n

To solve for \\(x\\), divide the part by the decimal:<\/p>\n

\\(x=17\\div 1.49\\)<\/p>\n

\\(17\\div 1.49=11.41\\)<\/p>\n

So, 17 is 149% of 11.41!<\/p>\n

\n

<\/span>Finding the Percent<\/h2>\n
\ud83d\udca1 90 is what percentage of 75?<\/div>\n

In this case, similar to the previous problem, the “part” (90) is larger than the whole, so our answer will be larger than 100%.<\/p>\n

The first step is to divide the part by the whole, giving us a decimal that represents the relationship between two numbers:<\/p>\n

\\(90 \\div 75 =1.2\\)<\/p>\n

Then, all we have to do is convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100 and adding a percent sign:<\/p>\n

\\(1.2\\times 100=120\\%\\)<\/p>\n

So, 90 is 120% of 75!<\/p>\n
