Question
Describe the equation you use to find the unknown part of in a percent.
Percent × Whole = Part
Percent × Part = Whole
Part × Whole = Percent
None of the Above
Hint:
We take an example and understand the concept behind the formula.
The correct answer is: Percent × Whole = Part
Step 1 of 2: Primarily, let us understand that anything as a whole is considered as 100%. Now, if we want some part of it, then we take some percentage from it. Step 2 of 2: Let us consider the following example. Suppose Mr. A's income is Rs. 10000 per month. He spent 30% of his income on food. How much does he spend on food? Well, if Mr. A's income is 10000 then we consider that as 100%. Now, we spends 30% of his income on food. Therefore, by simple arithmetic, we calculate 30% (percent) of 10000 (whole) is Rs. = Rs. 3000 (part). Hence, the formula is defined by, wholepercent = part. Final Answer: The correct choice is-- A. Percent × Whole = Part
