To understand the problem better, draw a line diagram and list down the values as shown below.
Known value=83
Total value=247
Percentage of total value=100%
Percentage of known value=?
Proportion Method
To find the missing value, cross-multiply the fraction of the percentages by the fraction of the given and total value.
Let the percentage of the amount be r.
83247 |
= |
r100 |
|
247×r |
= |
83×100 |
Cross multiply |
247r |
= |
8300 |
247r÷247 |
= |
8300÷247 |
Divide both sides by 247 |
|
r |
= |
33.6 |
Rounded to one decimal place |
Hence, 83 is 33.6%_ of 247.
Fraction Method
To find the missing value, simply multiply the fraction of the known values by 100.
The fraction can be written as the known value (83) over the total value (247).

Question 2 of 5
What percentage (%) of 600 kg is 18 kg?
Incorrect
Loaded: 0%
Progress: 0%
0:00
First, use a rectangle and list down the values: percentages on the left side and amounts on the right side.
Known value=18 kg
Total value=600 kg
Percentage of total value=100%
Percentage of known value=?
Proportion Method
To find the missing value, cross-multiply the fraction of the percentages by the fraction of the given and total value.
Let the percentage on the amount be r
r100 |
= |
18600 |
|
600×r |
= |
18×100 |
Cross multiply |
600r |
= |
1800 |
600r÷600 |
= |
1800÷600 |
Divide both sides by 600 |
|
r |
= |
1800600 |
Simplify |
|
r |
= |
3 |
Hence, 18 kg is 3%_ of 600 kg.
1% Method
First, find the 1% of the total value (600) by dividing the total amount by 100.
Hence, 1% of the original amount is 6 kg.
To find the percentage of the given amount, multiply the 1% value, which is 6, by a value to get it to 18.
Multiplying 6 by 3 will make it 18
1% |
= |
6 |
1%×3 |
= |
6×3 |
Multiply both sides by 3 |
3% |
= |
18 |
Hence, 18 kg is 3%_ of 600 kg.

First, summarise the data for easier understanding of the problem.
Given weight=5 kg
Total weight=250 kg
Percentage of total value=100%
Percentage of given weight=?
To find the missing value, simply multiply the fraction of the known values by 100.
The fraction can be written as the given weight (5) over the total value(250).

= |
5250×1001 |
Convert values to fraction form |
|
= |

|
|
= |
2 |
Hence, 5 kg is 2%_ of 250 kg.

First, summarise the data and draw a diagram for easier understanding of the problem
Given amount=$12
Total amount=$150
Percentage of total value=100%
Percentage of given amount=?
Proportion Method
To find the missing value, cross-multiply the fraction of the percentages by the fraction of the given and total value.
Let the percentage of the amount be r
12150 |

r100 |
|
150×r |
= |
12×100 |
Cross multiply |
150r |
= |
1200 |
150r÷150 |
= |
1200÷150 |
Divide both sides by 150 |
|
r |
= |
12015 |
Simplify |
|
r |
= |
8 |
Hence, $12 is 8%_ of $150.
Fraction Method
To find the missing value, simply multiply the fraction of the known values by 100.
The fraction can be written as the known value (12) over the total value (150).

First, use a rectangle and list down the values: percentages on the left side and amounts on the right side.
Known value=1200
Percentage of known value=20%
Percentage of total value=100%
Total value=?
To find the missing value, cross-multiply the fraction of the percentages by the fraction of the given and total value.
Let the original amount be x
20100 |
= |
1200x |
|
20×x |
= |
1200×100 |
Cross multiply |
20x |
= |
120,000 |
20x÷20 |
= |
120,000÷20 |
Divide both sides by 20 |
|
x |
= |
12,0002 |
Simplify |
|
x |
= |
6000 |
Hence, the total savings is $6000_
