A percent of a whole is a part is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 58: Solving Percent Problems with Equations in Saxon Math, Course 3.
Key Concepts
Property To solve percent problems with an equation, use the formula: $$ \% \times W = P $$ where W is the whole amount and P is the part.
Examples What is 40% of 200? $0.40 \times 200 = 80$ Thirty is 25% of what number? $0.25 \times W = 30 \implies W = \frac{30}{0.25} = 120$ Ten is what percent of 50? `$P \times 50 = 10 \implies P = \frac{10}{50} = 0.20$, which is 20%.
Explanation Think of this as a universal recipe for percent puzzles! If you know any two of the ingredients (the percent, the total, or the piece), you can use this simple equation to magically find the one you're missing. It turns tricky word problems into straightforward algebra you can totally crush.
