Answer:
Percent:
There are many formulas for percentage problems. You can think of the most basic as X/Y = P x 100. The formulas below are all mathematical variations of this formula.
X and Y are numbers and P is the percentage:
Find P percent of X
Find what percent of X is Y
Find X if P percent of it is Y
Mixture:
Solving a percent mixture problem can be done using the equation Ar = Q, where A is the amount of a solution, r is the percent concentration of a substance in the solution, and Q is the quantity of the substance in the solution.
Proportion:
Many "proportion" word problems can be solved using other methods, so they may be familiar to you. For instance, if you've learned about straight-line equations, then you've learned about the slope of a straight line, and how this slope is sometimes referred to as being "rise over run". But that word "over" gives a hint that, yes, we're talking about a fraction. And this means that "rise over run" can be discussed within the context of proportions.
