    I always use is/of = %/100. Set it up like this : $700 is what percent of 2800. In this case you would set up the problem as 700 over 2800 = % over 100 then cross multiply

    700 (this is the number that follows the word "is")

    2800 (this is the number that follows the word "of"

    %= will be X

    After you cross multiply you will have:

    70000= 2800x

    Then solve for X by dividing both sides by 2800

    x=25

    or

    %= 25

    Source(s): I'm a visual learning and took a lot of remedial classes in college for math. I could never figure out % until my teacher realized that I needed to see the problem written out as words. She showed me how to set up problems like this. Good Luck!

    In a suited international no extra effective than 25% of your month-to-month earnings. besides the hire plan on spending money on utilities, telephone, cable and then there is nutrients, vehicle, gasoline and despite else you like. superb thank you to confirm is to invite somebody that rents what their actual expenses are for the month then make the assessment to work out no matter in the journey that your month-to-month earnings might have the skill to maintain hire, utilities, telephone, etc.
