I'll try to illustrate by example.
Example:
100 is what percent of 1000?
Set up an equation:
100= 1000x where x is a fraction.
Solve: x=1/10.
to convert to percent--multiply by 100.

5 is what percent of 10?
Set up the equation:
5=10x (x is a fraction).
Solve: x=1/2
multiply by 100 to convert fractions to percents:
(1/2) X 100 = 50%
