  1. What percent of 300 is 45?
    • P * 330= 45 ***divid 300 in to 45
    • P= 300/45
    • P= .15
    • P= 15%
  2. 38 is what percent of 304
    • 38/304= P ***divid 304 in to 38
    • .125 = P
    • 125% = P
  3. 12 is 15% of what number?
    • 12 = 0.15 *N *** divid .15 into 12
    • 12/0.15 = N
    • 80=N
  4. What number is 6% of 12?
    • N= 0.06*12
    • N= 0.72
    • Therefore, 0.72 is 6% of 12
  5. 23 1/3% of 900 is what number?
    23 1/3% = 70/30 * 1/100= 7/30
