Ratios, proportions, and percents can be used to compare quantities and solve problems. A ratio compares two quantities, like the number of squares to circles. Equal ratios form a proportion, which can be used to solve for unknown values. Percents represent a number out of 100. Common percent calculations include finding a percent of a number and converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. The percent proportion states that the percent equals the part divided by the whole quantity.
