of 150 booths, 45 feature games. What percent of the booths feature games?

Question

 How can i do this problem using a percent proportion or decimal form? thanks

Answer 1

45 games out of 150 booths, so you need to divide 45 by 150:

          .3

      -------

150|45.0

       -450

       -------

           0 

.3 is the same as 30%

Answer 2

Ellie,

The percent proportion looks like this:

Part/whole = percent/100

part= 45  whole = 150

45/150 = n/100

Cross multiply and solve for n.  You just need to put the % sign on it.
