Best Answer: In percentage problems the word "is" means = and the word "of" means times. Therefore your problem would look like this:
60 = x(300) now solve for x by dividing both sides by 300
60 / 300 = x now divide this out to a decimal or get a denominator of 100 which would be the percentage.
.20 = 20% or
20 / 100 = 20 %
That is the way I try to teach percentage problems.
