How will i know if the problem is looking for the rate, base and percentage?

Sagot :

One number is the base. It's the total amount of something or the measure of something.
Second number is the rate. It is a measure of the part relatively to the whole thing, it's shown like 3%, 23%, 3.75% .
the third number is the part.. it's the amount or the measure of the part. 

you could use the triangle to remember how (PRB)
