Recall that a percentage means the number of parts out of 100. Problems at this level may deal with more complicated percentages. Some percentages may be less than 1% or more than 100%. To work with these percentages, use the same rules as with percentages between 1% and 100%.

The table shows how a leading automobile dealer plans to spend its advertising dollars for this year. If this company plans to increase its budget by 5% next year, how much will be spent on farm journal ads?
