Question

If you need to find the percent of a number, explain how you can predict whether the part will be less than, equal to, or greater than to the number

Answer 1

If the percentage is less than 100%, it is less than number. If percentage is more than 100%, it is more than number. If the percentage is equal to 100%, then it is equal.

Answer 2

When you're getting ready to find the percent of a number,
you'll know even before you start that ...

-- If the percent is less than 100%, the result will be
less than the number.

-- If the percent is more than 100%, the result will be
more than the number.

Why do you think this is ?

-- ' 100% ' means ' 1 '.

-- If you take less than 100% of the number, that means
less than the whole thing.

-- If you take more than 100% of the number, that means
more than the whole thing.
