A fraction is set up like this:
part/whole
A percent fraction is set up like this:
part/100 (since a percent is out of 100)
Then set it up as a proportion. The proportion would be set up like this:
part/whole(fraction)=part/100 (percent)
So then the actual proportion would look like this...
13/52=x/100.
x is the variable or missing part of your proportion.
