Percent proportion sets up the ratio part/whole = percent/100. If you want to find what percent of 60 is 12, you set 12/60 = x/100. Cross-multiplying yields 12 × 100 = 60x, so x = 20%. Similarly, for “What is 15% of 80?”, the proportion is x/80 = 15/100, resulting in x = 12. This approach is the bedrock for computing discounts, tip calculations, and test score conversions. Familiarity with percent proportions fosters a systematic, quick solution for many percentage-based problems across financial, academic, or daily contexts.
