How can you use the percent proportion to solve real world problems?
The percent proportion can be used to solve real-world problems by setting up a ratio that compares a part to the whole, expressed as a percentage. For example, if you want to find out what percentage of a class passed an exam, you can set up the equation ( \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} = \frac{\text{percent}}{100} ). This allows you to easily calculate unknown values, such as the percentage of sales tax on an item or the proportion of a budget allocated to different expenses. By applying this formula, you can make informed decisions based on quantitative data.
