è All percent problems have three basic parts called
the Base, the Rate, and the Amount.ïTo identify ç parts, you should
first look for the "Rate".ïThis is the easiest part to find, because it
has the percent symbol (%).ïIn the sentence, "16 is 20% of 80", it is
clear that the Rate is 20%.

è The second easiest part to find is the Base.ïThe Percent is always
"of" the Base.ïIn our example, "16 is 20% of 80", the Base is 80,
because we have 20% of 80. (Percent of Base)

è The third number is the Amount.ïIn this example, 16 is the Amount.
