Find the unknown value in the percent proportation part/whole = percent/100
part is 5 and percent is 4
5/whole = 4/100
Bryan, I'm not sure I understand your question.
Let's let N stand for the whole and cross multiply.
5/n = 4/100
4n = 500
n = 125
5 is 4% of 125
To find the unknown value, you can set up a proportion using the percent proportion formula: part/whole = percent/100.
In this case, you have part as 5 and percent as 4, which gives you the equation: 5/whole = 4/100.
To solve for the unknown value (whole), you can cross-multiply and then solve for the variable:
5/whole = 4/100
Cross-multiplying, we get:
4 * whole = 5 * 100
This simplifies to:
4 * whole = 500
Now, to isolate the variable, divide both sides of the equation by 4:
whole = 500 / 4
Simplifying further, we have:
whole = 125
Therefore, the unknown value (whole) is 125.
