The PBR Triangle

Remember!

In this statement, In this statement,

6 is 20% of 30. 20% of 30 is 6.

30 is the base 30 is the base


6 is the percentage 6 is the percentage
20% is the rate 20% is the rate

We can now generalize that the number


after the word OF is the base, and the
number after or before the word IS is the
percentage.
Let’s try!
What is 20% of 30?

Step 1: Identify what are given and which is


missing.

20% is obviously the rate, for it contains


the percent symbol.
30 is the base, because it follows the word
of.
Therefore, percentage is missing and needs
to be solved.
Example:

Ex. What is 70% of 150?


B = 150
R = 70%
P=?
P = 150 x 0.70
P=BxR
P = 105
Do it yourself!

1. 300% of 40 = ________
B = 40
R = 300%
P=?
P = 40 x 3
P=BxR
P = 120
Do it yourself!

2. ______ is 12 ½ % of 80.
B = 80
R = 12 ½ %
P=?
P = 80 x 0.125
P=BxR
P = 10
Example:

Ex. 32 is 16% of what


number?
P = 32
R = 16%
B=?
B = 32/0.16
B = P/R
B = 200
Do it yourself!

3. 18% of _____ = 126


P = 126
R = 18%
B=?

B = 126/0.18
B = P/R
B = 700
Do it yourself!

4. 1 is 2.5% of _______.
P=1
R = 2.5%
B=?

B = 1/0.025
B = P/R
B = 40
Example:

Ex. What percent of 120 is 6?


P=6
B = 120
R=?

R = 6/120

R = P/B R = 0.05
R = 5%
Do it yourself!

5. 9 is ____% of 60
P=9
B = 60
R=?

R = 9/60

R = P/B R = 0.15
R = 15%
Do it yourself!

6. _____% of 60 = 81
P = 81
B = 60
R=?

R = 81/60

R = P/B R = 1.35
R = 135%
