.15 times 100 = 15 percent
Draw a triangle. Then, draw a line horizontally through it. From that line draw a line vertically to the bottom of the triangle.
Now you have 3 sections to your triangle. Label (on the outside) the top “IS” and the bottom two sections “OF” and “PERCENT”.
This is how it works: when you have two numbers on the bottom of the triangle, you multiply them together (make sure the percent # is in decimal form!!!). If you have a number at the top and a number on the bottom, you divide them.
In this case, your question is asking you “WHAT % OF 234 IS 35.10?” So, you put an ‘x’ in for percent, 234 in for OF, and 35.10 for IS. Then you would divide 35.1/234……This will give you the percent you are looking for, but it will be in decimal form. Move the decimal two places to the right and you will have your answer!
= (35.10 /234) * 100 %
= 15 %
35.10 X 100%
____
234
0.15 X100%= 15%
234x=35.10
35.10/234 = .15
