Question 16 of 60 (1 point) I Question Attempt 1 of Unlimited
Write the percent proportion.
$20 \%$ of 60 pictures is 12 pictures.
The percent proportion is $\square$ .
Solution
Solution Steps
To write the percent proportion, we need to set up a proportion where the part (12 pictures) is to the whole (60 pictures) as the percent (20%) is to 100. This can be expressed as:
\[
\frac{12}{60} = \frac{20}{100}
\]
Step 1: Set Up the Proportion
We need to express the relationship between the part and the whole in terms of the percent. The percent proportion can be set up as:
\[
\frac{12}{60} = \frac{20}{100}
\]
Step 2: Calculate the Proportions
Calculating the left side:
\[
\frac{12}{60} = 0.2
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
\frac{20}{100} = 0.2
\]
Step 3: Compare the Proportions
Both sides of the equation yield the same value:
\[
0.2 = 0.2
\]
This confirms that the percent proportion is correct.
