Verified Answer :

There are 3 terms to remember in answering these questions. WHOLE, PART, PERCENTAGE.

Whole is the total amount. 
Part is the portion of the whole
Percentage is usually the rate of the part to the whole.

If the part and percentage is given and we are looking for the whole or total.
Whole = part ÷ percentage of the part

If the whole and percentage of the part is given and we are looking for the part:
Part = whole percentage of the part

If the part and the whole is given and we are looking for the percentage:
percentage = (part / whole) x 100%
