In any percent problem, "is" is =, "of" is x and "%" is "per one hundred," or 1/100.

So, e.g, 32 is ___% of 64 becomes
32 = ___x1/100 x 64

Dividing both sides by 64 gives you:
1/2 = x/100
Multiplying both sides by 100 gives you:
50 = x

Just remember what each word means, and you'll have simple single variable equations that can be easily solved.

Doin' homework, eh? Well I'm not going to do it for you but, c'mon, this stuff is E-Z. Get out your calculator and divide the 1st number by the second number. For example: 32 divided by 64 is .5 or HALF or 50%. Got it? Now for the fractions you gotta convert the hole number to a decimal. For example: 8 1/3 is 8.33 since a 1/3 is 1 divided by 3. 33 1/3 is 33.33, OK? So 8.33 divided by 33.33 is .249 or rounded up to 25%
Its easy once you know how to convert to decimal and divide. Hope this helps! Good luck. HB

The way you solve all these problems is with a calculator. I will show you the first one

32/64 = 0.500
Now move the decimal point over two spaces to the right (which is the same as multiplying by 100).
= 50.0%

Use this method for all the problems you listed.

Hope this helps!

Translate the questions into math symbols. "is" becomes an equal sign; "of" means to multiply. The percent is your "unknown" or x

First one becomes: 32 = (x)(64)
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 64.
Don't forget to multiply your final answer by 100 to change to percent.

x = 32/64 = 0.5

0.5 x 100 = 50%
