To find the percent, we use this simple rule:
Percent = (Part ÷ Whole) × 100
Here is the step-by-step calculation for each problem on the list:
1. What percent is 3 chairs out of 12 chairs?
* Divide 3 by 12: $3 \div 12 = 0.25$
* Multiply by 100: $0.25 \times 100 = 25\%$
2. What percent is 5 pigs out of 20 pigs?
* Divide 5 by 20: $5 \div 20 = 0.25$
* Multiply by 100: $0.25 \times 100 = 25\%$
3. What percent is 28 stones out of 35 stones?
* Divide 28 by 35: $28 \div 35 = 0.8$
* Multiply by 100: $0.8 \times 100 = 80\%$
4. What percent is 16 cats out of 32 cats?
* Divide 16 by 32: $16 \div 32 = 0.5$
* Multiply by 100: $0.5 \times 100 = 50\%$
5. What percent is 24 plates out of 200 plates?
* Divide 24 by 200: $24 \div 200 = 0.12$
* Multiply by 100: $0.12 \times 100 = 12\%$
6. What percent is 80 pens out of 160 pens?
* Divide 80 by 160: $80 \div 160 = 0.5$
* Multiply by 100: $0.5 \times 100 = 50\%$
7. What percent is 8 mice out of 20 mice?
* Divide 8 by 20: $8 \div 20 = 0.4$
* Multiply by 100: $0.4 \times 100 = 40\%$
8. What percent is 4 glasses out of 16 glasses?
* Divide 4 by 16: $4 \div 16 = 0.25$
* Multiply by 100: $0.25 \times 100 = 25\%$
9. What percent is 20 points of 400 points?
* Divide 20 by 400: $20 \div 400 = 0.05$
* Multiply by 100: $0.05 \times 100 = 5\%$
10. What percent is 50 forks out of 500 forks?
* Divide 50 by 500: $50 \div 500 = 0.1$
* Multiply by 100: $0.1 \times 100 = 10\%$
11. What percent is 12 balls out of 48 balls?
* Divide 12 by 48: $12 \div 48 = 0.25$
