amistre64 · Answer

what is the percentage formula?

amistre64 · Answer

Part
--------- ; is a good set up to remember
  %   | Total

amistre64 · Answer

% = part/total

total = part/%

Part = % times total

amistre64 · Answer

since they give you a part and a total in the question, and ask you to find the "other", id use % = pert/total

Here's another way of looking at this:

Translate this question from English to Math:

Let x =  What percentage?
"of" means to multiply

What percent of 8 is 2?

x * 8 = 2
x = 2/8
x = 1/4
x = .25
x = 25%
