5. To find the percent one number is of another, use this proportion:
% 100 =
is of
Because you are looking for 45% of 420, 45 replaces the percent sign and 420 replaces “of.” The first denominator, 100, always stays the same. The “is” part is what you have been asked to find.

6. Additional Example 1: Application
There are 560 students in Ella’s school. If 35% of the students participate in after-school sports, how many students participate in after- school sports?
First estimate your answer. Think: 35% = ,
which is close to , and 560 is close to 600. So
about of the students participate in after-school sports. 35
100
___ 1 3 __ 1 3 __
• 600 = 200
This is the estimate.
Helpful Hint
Think: “35 out of 100 is how many out of 560?”

7. Additional Example 1 Continued
Now solve:
Let s represent the number of students who participate in after- school sports. 35
100
___ s
560
___ =
100 • s = 35 • 560
The cross products are equal.
100s = 19,600
s is multiplied by 100.
100s
100
____
19,600
100
_____
Divide both sides of the equation by 100 to undo multiplication. =
s = 196
Since 196 is close to your estimate of 200, 196 is a reasonable answer.
196 students participate in after-school sports.

There are 480 students in Tisha’s school. If 70% of the students participate in the fundraising program, how many students participate is that ? 70
100
___ x
480
___ = ;
100x = 33,600; x = 336 students

9. Additional Example 2: Application
Johan is 25% of the way through his exercises. If he has exercised for 20 minutes so far, how much longer does he have to work out?
25% of the exercises are completed, so 20 minutes is 25% of the total time needed. %
100
___ is of __ =
Set up a proportion. The “of” part is what you have been asked to find. 25
100
___ 20 m __ =
100 • 20 = 25 • m
The cross products are equal.

10. Additional Example 2 Continued
m is multiplied by 25.
2,000 25
_____
25m 25
____
Divide both sides by 25 to undo multiplication. =
80 = m
The time needed for the exercises is 80 min. So far, the exercises have taken 20 min. Because – 20 = 60, Johan will be finished in 60 min.

11. Check It Out: Example 2A
Katie has read 35% of a book. If she has read 49 pages, how many more pages does Katie have left to read? 35
100
___ 49 p __ = ;
35p = 4,900; p = 140 pages
= 91 pages

12. Check It Out: Example 2B
Justin is 75% through washing and folding his laundry. If he has finished 6 loads, how many loads does he still need to do? 75
100
___ 6 l __ = ;
75 l = 600; l = 8 loads
8 - 6 = 2 loads

13. Instead of using proportions, you can also multiply to find a percent of a number.

14. Additional Example 3: Multiplying to Find a Percent of a Number
Find 36% of 50.
36% = 0.36
Write the percent as a decimal.
0.36 • 50
Multiply using the decimal. 18
So 18 is 36% of 50.
