Question

Describe the equation you use to find the unknown part of in a percent.

  1. Percent × Whole = Part    
  2. Percent × Part = Whole    
  3. Part × Whole = Percent    
  4. None of the Above    

hintHint:

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. 10000 cross times 30 over 100= Rs. 3000 (part).
    Hence, the formula is defined by, wholecross timespercent = part.
    Final Answer:
    The correct choice is-- A. Percent × Whole = Part
