Percent Problem Solving

A percent is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100. It is denoted by the symbol '%'. For example, 50% means 50 out of 100.

To calculate the percentage of a number, multiply the number by the percentage (in decimal form) and then divide by 100. For example, to find 20% of 50, calculate (20/100) * 50 = 10.

The formula is: Total = Part / (Percentage / 100). For example, if 30 is 60% of a total, then Total = 30 / (60/100) = 50.
