Identify the PART in the problem
2006-10-25 05:32:47 · update #1
50%
I do it in my head, but I'm sure there's a formula to it.
35 / 70 * 100

You need to think of the 70 as 100% - the whole thing. Because 35 is half of 70, this is 50%, because 50% and a half are equivalent.
Identify the 'part' in the problem:
Because 35 is half of 70, this is the same as 1 part in 2 - so the proportion is '1 in every 2', the ratio is 1:1.

of means 'times'.
to find the percent, find the number of times the one goes into the other. In this case, 35 going into 70. 35/70, which is 2 times, or in other words, 35 is half (1/2) of 70. Divide 1 by 2 and you get .5.
To change a decimal into a percent, move the decimal right twice.
50%.

OK, percent means per hundred.
Now 35 is one half of 70. What is one half of 100? 50.
Therefore 35 is 50 percent of 70.
