When you're getting ready to find the percent of a number,

you'll know even before you start that ...

- - If the percent is less than 100%, the result will be

less than the number.

- - If the percent is more than 100%, the result will be

more than the number.

Why do you think this is?

- - ' 100% ' means ' 1 '.

- - If you take less than 100% of the number, that means

less than the whole thing.

- - If you take more than 100% of the number, that means

more than the whole thing.

If the percentage is less than 100%, it is less than number. If percentage is more than 100%, it is more than number. If the percentage is equal to 100%, then it is equal.
