Objective: Today we want to be able to identify the percent equation. We will also learn how to use the equation to solve percent problems.

2. Information Percent equation: a = p% x b A = part B = base (total)
P = percent

3. Finding part of base a = p% x b
What number is 16% of 75?
What number is 89% of 110?

4. Finding part of base-st a = p% x b
What number is 60% of 25?
What number is 20% of 45?
What number is 10% of 56?
What number is 150% of 96?

5. Find percent a = p% x b What percent of 25 is 60?

6. Find percent – st a = p% x b
What percent of 500 is 12?
What percent of 200 is 1?
What percent of 80 is 212?
What percent of 90 is 72?

7. Find base a = p% x b 27 is 7.5% of what number?

8. Find base – st a = p% x b 9 is .03% of what number?
