Question

Create a proportion using the form %/100= is/of to represent the following word problem.

What is 60% of 20?

Answer 1

To create a proportion using the form %/100 = is/of for the problem "What is 60% of 20?", we first identify the components:

• The percent is 60.
• The total (the "of" part) is 20.
• The "is" part represents the unknown value we want to find.

Using the format, we can set it up as follows:

\[ \frac{60}{100} = \frac{x}{20} \]

where \( x \) represents the value we are trying to find, which is 60% of 20.

So, the completed proportion is:

\[ \frac{60}{100} = \frac{x}{20} \]
