How does one find the percent of a sum?
To find the percent of anything, you change the percent to a decimal, and multiply. Finding the percent of a sum is no different. ex: 10% of (30 + 100) I can use the distributive property to take 10% of 30, then add 10% of 100. .10(30 + 100) = .10*30 + .10*100 = 3 + 10 = 13 In order to see how this works, let's not distribute. .10(30+100) and instead, add 30 +100 first, then take the percent. .10(130) = 13 We get the same answer! You can take the percent of the whole thing, or you can take the percent of the pieces that add up to the whole.

25 percent of what number is 30?
To find 25 percent of a number, you can multiply the number by 0.25. In this case, we can set up the equation as 0.25x = 30, where x is the unknown number. To solve for x, divide both sides by 0.25, which gives us x = 30 / 0.25 = 120. Therefore, 25 percent of 120 is 30.
