The Pacific giant squid can grow to a weight of 2000 pounds. This is 1250% of the maximum weight of the Pacific giant octopus. When one number is known, and is relationship to another number is given by a percent, the other number can be found.

Pre-Algebra


60 = 0.12n

60 is 12% of what number?

Additional Example 1: Finding a Number When the Percent Is Known

Set up an equation to find the number.

60 = 12% n

= n 60

0.12 0.12

0.12Divide both sides by 0.12.

500 = n

60 is 12% of 500.

Set up an equation.

75 = 0.25n

75 is 25% of what number?

Try This: Example 1

Set up an equation to find the number.

75 = 25% n

= n 75

0.25 0.25

0.25 Divide both sides by 0.25.

300 = n

75 is 25% of 300.

Set up an equation.

Three Types of Percent Problems

1. Finding the percent of a number. 15% of 120 = n

2. Finding the percent one number is of another.p% of 120 = 18

3. Finding a number when the percent is known.15% of n = 18

You have now seen all three types of percent problems.
