The easiest way to do these simple percent problems is to remember this.
is = %
of 100
1. Determine the "is", "of", and "%"
is = 1
of = 36
% = ?
2. Substitute into the simple formula. (use a variable such as x in place of question mark)
1 = x
36 100
3. Cross multiply. (you can do this when you have a fraction equal to another fraction.
36x = 1*100
36x = 100
x = 100
36
4. Solve for x. (since this question is asking for a percent, make sure you put a percent sign after the number...you may also want to round depending on the directions)
x = 2.777777777777... %
1% of 36 = 1% * 36 = 0.01 * 36 = 0.36
It is 36/3600 = 1/100 or 1% of an hour
2/36 = 1/18 = 0.055= 5.5% ( a percent is 1/100) To get percent divide numbers and multiply by 100
9/36 = 1/4 = 25%
2.5%
1% of 36 = 1% * 36 = 0.01 * 36 = 0.36
2.778%=1/36
The percent of 36 is 3600% The lowest fraction is 36/1
In equation: 36 * 0.08 = X * 0.72 So X = 36 * 0.08 / 0.72 = 36 * 1/ 9 = 4 Eight percent of 36 is 72 percent of 4
It is: 36/3600 times 100 = 1%
It is 36/3600 = 1/100 or 1% of an hour
1/100 = 6.48/36 = 18%
2/36 = 1/18 = 0.055= 5.5% ( a percent is 1/100) To get percent divide numbers and multiply by 100
3/36 = 1/12 = 0.083 = 8.3%
9/36 = 1/4 = 25%
2.5%
12/36 = 1/3 = 33.333%
