Percent Problem - Use a Percent to Find the Whole

Subscribe for more math videos!
Set up and solve a proportion to find the whole if given a percent. A percent is a ratio that is always out of 100.

[@IRTG2006]

A quicker way to do this is: 1) Divide 45 by 18 (Giving you 2.5) 2)Multiply 2.5 by 100 (Giving you 250) This only takes up to a minute at most to do.

Divide 45 by 18 to work out 1% and then multiply it by 100 to work out 100%. 45/18= 2.5 1% = 2.5 2.5 x 100 = 250 100% = 250

[@anannyachakraborty.4844]

45 =18%x. 45=0.18x. 45÷0.18=x. x=4500÷18. x=250. Also kind of mind math. Your method is also correct. Nice video. Thank you for the video.

[@lisamccray6481]

Shortcuts are cool but they really only work because there's an underlying appreciation for the long way. The people who are always belly aching about the long way of learning get on my nerves. Nothing is the short way. For example, we run in and grab something out of the store. But the manufacturer is rich because we "ain't got all day." The teacher here is like the manufacturer. She lays the foundation. Like what good is a house standing on a dirt floor? What good is a house of cards? Once you thoroughly get the concept, then you are free to use Shortcuts forever more. If you can't say something nice, move along. This teacher freely shared her knowledge. She didn't have to. She established a foundation so that the shortcut teacher will seem to be the hero. That shortcut only solves one style of the problems. You will still have to understand the rest of the techniques. I wouldn't want the shortcut guy as my accountant. I'd want the stickler. So. I celebrate this teacher. Thank you. We owe the world to "nerds," not to insulting jerks with half a brain. So, again, just saying, you are very appreciated. Party time to you. 😎

Try the fraction is over of and percent over 100. Every sentence has the word is and of in it. If there is a percent number write that over 100. If a number appears before the word is...u write that above the number that comes after of. Two numbers will be diagonal. Multiply those two and divide by the remaining number

[@TapasBaripada]

Fundamentally the concept of part/whole is a sound one. As far as calculation is concerned no need to multiply 45 and 100. Rather break 18 into 9 and 2 so that 9 divides 45 and 2 divides 100. 50×5 is 250. Mentally we may do it quickly but fundamental principle is do-undo.

A simple trick Just translate the sentence into symbols. "is" is equivalent to equals (=) "of" is equivalent to multiplication (x) Let n be the unknown number 45 is 18% of what number? 45 = 18% x n 45 = .18n 250=n n=250

I did it this way: 100 divided by 18 = 5.555555555555556. Multiply that times 45 = 250. Boom.

[@Feediza]

45 = .18x X= 45/.18 To do this you know it's 2 to begin with since 2x 18 is 36, you're left with 9 which is .5 then multiply by 100 to get 250..

[@akhilattractsu7132]

One of the worst way doing it 1)is/of × 100 = solution 2)18-100,36-200,45-250

[@williambunter3311]

If 18% is 45, then 1% is 45divided by 18 which = 5 divided by 2. Then multiply by 100 which gives 500 divided by 2 which =250. easy to do in your head.

[@lolakapuri]

Another simple way I learned is 45 is 18 , x is 100. Join diagnolly and solve for x.

[@MrBappa2011]

Quickest and easiest way is by applying unitary method.... 18% represents.=45 1%....=45/18 100%.....=45/18×100=250

[@jmgabiola]

250 is the answer

[@akizaizinski6454]

Will this work for every problem like that? I am asking this because, I’ve been using the multiplication. Say, 75% x 24. I would move the decimal for 75 and make it .75, multiply by 24 and I got 1800, which would just be 18 I believe and the answer was 32, when it told me to find what number that percentage went to. So, I began getting problems right and wrong, I need something that will always make it right. I then tried it in fraction way. . . 75/100x 24/1, or in the original problem, it would have been 24/1x75/100. But, I don’t know what it was but the answer was wrong frequently. And even if I did get it right, that would have been after hours of reducing. I can reduce, but I get so confused when it’s a big number. So basically, what I’m asking is: will this give me the correct answer everytime?
