Some fundamental properties of equality of real numbers will help us to solve equations.
These fundamental properties of equality of real numbers are the basis for the following two properties
of equations.

Percent
All percent problems are solved by referring to the basic formula that relates percentage, percent,
and the base of the percentage.
Percentage = (Percent)(Base)
There
are only three percent related problems:
(1) Given Percent and Base, calculate Percentage
(2) Given Percent and Percentage, calculate Base
(3) Given Percentage and Base, calculate Percent
If we let A represent Percentage, let P represent percent and B represent the
Base, the the basic formula may be written as
A = PB
which is read as follows:
The percentage
A is P percent of the base B.
Use this verbal statement and the basic formula to help translate percent problems
into an equation.
Finally remember the meaning of percent is "per 100" and convert all percents
to decimals.
