NOTE:
Before answering these questions, here is the PBR formula.
If the Base (B) is missing, Percentage (P) ÷ Rate [%] (R)
If the Rate [%] (R) is missing, Percentage (P) ÷ Base (B)
If the Percentage (P) is missing, Base (B) × Rate (R)
Please take note that when dividing the Percentage by the Rate or the Base, the Percentage should always be the dividend while the Rate or Base should be the divisor.
Also, when converting the rate into a decimal, move the decimal place of the rate twice to the left, and when converting from decimal to percent, move the decimal place of the decimal twice to the right.
Another thing is that, when dividing the whole number (dividend) by the decimal (divisor), move the decimal place of both dividend and the divisor to the right until the divisor becomes a whole number.
Question:
A store owner sold 13 burgers in the morning out of 50 burgers displayed. What percent of the burgers was sold?
Answer:
Let us do the solution.
Since 13 is the Percentage, and 50 is the Base, then we need to find the rate by dividing 13 by 50.
13 ÷ 50 = 0.26
Then, convert the decimal into a percent by moving the decimal place (of the decimal) to the right twice.
0.26 -> 26%
Therefore, the answer is 26%.
Hope it helps!
