To figure out percentages of numbers, use this ratio equation (it works every time):

Partial number / Whole number = Percentage / 100%

For example, if you want to know what is 13% of 50 (or X out of 50, equals 13% out of 100%), then:

X / 50 = 13% / 100%

To solve, multiply the Top left numerator with the Bottom right denominator, and the Bottom left denominator with the Top right numerator, like this:

100 * X = 13 * 50 ----> 100X = 650

(Solve for X)
X = 650 / 100 ----> X = 6.5

Now try it with your problems.

7.) 35 is X% of 20? (Replace what with x)

35 / 20 = X% / 100% -------> 35 * 100 = 20 * X

3500 = 20X ------> 3500 / 20 = X

X = 175%

you need to learn how... lets see now,....
7) its saying what do you need to multiply 20 by to get 35... so its probably 175% to check, you do 1.75 (which is the decimal moved 2 times to get decimal form) times 20 and then u get 35... right?

8) thats easy... 5 times .12 = _____ (im lazy)

9) 18 IS 25%, so multiply it by 4 (18 times 4)

10) do.. 24 over x =120 over 100. cross multiply and you get 120x = 2400 divde by 120 and you get 20.

11) i dont get what the question is asking

12) 10 times .06

16) .35 times 750

17) easy! answer's 20

18) .24 times 710

19) .14 times 220

20) .08 times 800

21) 10
