If you dont know how to right away, imagine simpler numbers. What percent of 200 is 100? The answer's 50%, but the multiplication to prove it is... .5(200) = 100. So when they ask \"What percent of 90 is 50,\" set up the algebraic equstion like that.\r<BR>\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "x(90) = 50... Then just solve through<BR>\n" );
document.write( "90x = 50<BR>\n" );
document.write( "x = 50/90<BR>\n" );
document.write( "x = .555\r<BR>\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Keep in mind you have to move the decimal point two spots to the right. Think back to the original equation. even though .5 was used, the answer was 50%. So 50 is 55.5% of 90. </SPAN>\n" );
