A simple tool to remember is: IS over OF equals percent over 100.
If we put this into a proportion, we get:
IS/OF = percent/100.
Just put all percent problems into this format, and solve the proportion.
Example: 12.5 IS what percent OF 75?
Or,
12.5 IS | what percent | OF 75?
Just put these numbers into the proportion: (We will use x for the percent, as that is the unknown we are solving for)
12.5/75 = x/100.
Then solve by cross multiplying:
75x = 1250.
Then divide by 75:
x = 1250/75,
x = 16 2/3 %

How is converting a ratio to percent the same as solving a proportion?
Converting a ratio to a percent is not the same as solving a proportion.
What are the similarities to percent proportion and percent equation?
Both percent proportion and percent equation are methods used to solve problems involving percentages. The percent proportion expresses the relationship between the part, whole, and percent as a fraction: ( \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} = \frac{\text{percent}}{100} ). The percent equation, on the other hand, is formulated as ( \text{part} = \text{percent} \times \text{whole} ). While they are different in form, both approaches ultimately help find the same values in percentage-related problems.
