How Do You Set Up a Percent Proportion from a Word Problem?

'n' is a variable that represents the total number of people polled
A percent proportion has a percent over 100 on the left, and the part over the whole on the right
80 is our percent
68 is our part
'n' is our whole
And now we have our percent proportion, 80 over 100 on the left, and 68 over 'n' on the right

1. 'n' is a variable that represents the total number of people polled
1. On the left side of a percent proportion, the percent is divided by 100
2. That is equal to the part over the whole on the right side
1. We need to find the values for the percent, part, and whole
1. 'n' is a variable that represents the total number of people polled
1. Remember:
2. 80 is our percent
3. 68 is our part
4. And 'n' is our whole
5. 'n' is a variable that represents the total number of people polled
1. And now we have our percent proportion, 80 over 100 on the left, and 68 over 'n' on the right

In a recent survey, 80% of people polled said algebra was their favorite subject. If 68 people gave this answer, write a percent proportion for the number of people polled.
