What's a Percent Proportion?

What is a percent proportion?

Summary

  1. A percent proportion is a special proportion, where we have the percent over 100 equal to the part of something over the whole of something
  2. '60' is the percent
  3. Since the problem says '60%' equals '3/5', the '3' represents the part and the '5' represents the whole

Notes

    1. This is the form of a percent proportion!
    1. In a percent proportion, the percent is always over 100
    1. The problem says that '60%' is equal to '3/5', so we make '60/100' equal to '3/5'!
