What is Is over of equals percent over 100 called?

Answer 1

It is called the percent proportion. It is set up as a proportion and can answer any questions dealing with finding the percent of a number, or the number for the percent.

For example: What is 16% of 35?

You are looking for "is." The percent is given to you and the "of" is given to you. You should set up the proportion like this:

is = %

of 100

x = 16

35 100

Cross multiply.

You now have: 100x = 560

You have to get x by itself, so you divide both sides by 100.

100x = 560

100 100

x= 5.6
