numbers by division. To write ratios, use the word to, a
colon, or a fraction bar.EXAMPLE #1: John read 3 books in 4
days. Write the ratio of books to days.
Words: 3 to 4
Colon: 3:4
Fraction: 3/4

To solve a problem involving percents, it is helpful to translate first to an equation. For example, “23% of 5 is what?”
“Of” translates to “” or “”.multiplication
“Is” translates to “=”.equal
“What” translates to any letter.
“%” translates to 1
" " or " 0.01".100
How to Find the Percent of a Whole Number
What number is 75% of 4?
3 is what percent of 4?
Using the PROPORTION METHOD, the set-up is always the same:
PERCENT --
the number with the percent sign (%).
PART -- the number with the word is.
WHOLE -- the number with the word of.
What number is 75% of 4?

Write an equivalent decimal for 67.34%.
a) Replace the % symbol with * 0.01. 67.34 * 0.01
b) Multiply to move the decimal point two places to the left. 0.67.34
67.34% = 0.6734. or Divide67.34%/100=0.6734
