Why can you solve percent problems as a proportion problem?
Because you simply set it up in a proportion box, for example if you have the fraction 4/8 you put the 4 on top of the 8 and 100 next to the 8 because with percents you always use 100. then solve,
How do you solve a proportion if a variable is missing?
You can look at the ratio that is given to you for example in geometry... It is used to compare two ratios or make equivalent fractions. Use the ratio and make that the denominator of the proportion and cross multiply.A proportion will help you solve problems like the one below. Jane has a box of apples and oranges in the ratio of 2:3. If she has six apples, how many oranges does she have?Before we begin to set up proportions for a word problem, we will concentrate on solving proportions. Remember, a proportion is a comparison between two ratios. The proportion shown below compares two ratios which are in the fraction form. 1 x - = - 2 6

What is the easiest way to solve a proportion?
The easiest way to solve a proportion is by cross-multiplying. This means you multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction and set the two products equal to each other. For example, in the proportion ( \frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} ), you would calculate ( a \times d = b \times c ). Then, you can solve for the unknown variable by isolating it in the resulting equation.
How can you solve problems involving percents?
That would depend on the specific problem. The "rule of three" (i.e., solving proportions) can help for many standard problems; i.e., you consider a proportion, where the percentage has a denominator of 100. Here are some examples:1) What's 17% of 2000? The proportion to solve is: 17/100 = x/2000 2) 500 is what percentage of 2000? The proportion to solve is: x/100 = 500/2000 3) 500 is 10% of what number? The proportion to solve is: 500/x = 10/100
What is the math term for proportion?
