	The Proportion Method	Show/Hide
	In this method, we write a proportion like so:
	Percent (Percent = Part ÷ Whole)	Show/Hide
	Means a part out of 100.
	Is a rate per 100 (e.g., 50% of a quantity means 50/100 times the quantity)
	$45 is what percent of $90?
	Part (Part = Percent x Whole)	Show/Hide
	If you were asked to find 50% of 90, you would multiply 50/100 by 90, to get an answer of $45.
	What is 50% of 90?	45=50 x 90/100
	Whole (Whole = Part ÷ Percent)	Show/Hide
	The "whole" is the total number of whatever you are dealing with.
	45 is 50% of what number?	(45/50)x100 = 90
	Percent Wheel	Show/Hide
	The three formulas for solving percent problems are: Percent = Part/Whole, Whole = Part/Percent, Part = Percent x Whole
