Question

do you understand? 1. ?essential question how does proportional reasoning relate to percent?

Explanation:

Percent is a form of proportional reasoning. Proportional reasoning involves setting up and solving ratios. A percent is a ratio where the second - term is 100. For example, if we say 25%, it means the ratio 25:100. We use proportional reasoning to find percentages of quantities (e.g., finding 20% of 50 is equivalent to solving the proportion $\frac{x}{50}=\frac{20}{100}$), and to compare quantities in terms of percentages.

Answer:

Percent is a specific application of proportional reasoning where the ratio is expressed with a denominator of 100, and proportional reasoning is used to calculate and compare percentages.
