Percent Proportion

A percent proportion is an equation where a percentage (%) of the whole is equal to the part of the whole or we can say it is an equation where a percent is equal to an equivalent ratio.
What is Percent Proportion?
When the ratio of part to whole is equal to the ratio of a percent to 100, shows a percent equal to an equivalent ratio, we call it a percent proportion. A percentage is a fraction expressed with 100 as the denominator. When two ratios are equal, they are said to be in proportion. Proportions are denoted by using the symbols "=" or "::". For example, 1/5 :: 20/ 100, and the given proportion is read as "1 is to 5 equals to 20 is to 100".
Percentage in the Form of a Fraction Shows Proportion
Following are the given examples that show how the percentage is converted into fractions and shows the proportion.
25% means 25 parts out of 100 and 25/100 = 1/4 of the total parts (whole). So, the given proportion is read as "25 is to 100 equals to 1 is to 4".
40% means 40 parts out of 100 and 40/100 = 2/5 of the total parts (whole). So, the given proportion is read as "40 is to 100 equals to 2 is to 5".
