Well, if you have 200 miles, that's like 2 sets of 100 miles each, right?
Then, you have 2 miles you want to take away from them, right?
So, remember how 100 percent is like 100 cents making a dollar?
Remember how 1 cent from the dollar is similar to 1 mile from each 100 miles?
It's the same principle!
The 2 miles you are taking from the 200 miles are 1 percent of the 200 miles.
Can you see that?
1 percent of 100 = 1
1 percent of 1000 = 10
1 percent of 10,000 = 100
So, if you have 200 miles and take 2 miles away, you are taking 1% of the miles.
An easy way to 'check your math' is:
Multiply the 2 miles by the 100-mile unit. See? You have your 200 miles back!
I hope this helps! You can always call, or visit (if possible), or sometimes even visit online! with you local library via their popular Homework Help Lines. If there isn't one in your area, try the library's Reference Desk by phone, online, or, in-person!
Learn everything you possibly can, while you can! It will all serve you very well for the rest of your life! Once, I was having trouble with percentages and other parts of my lessons, but now look at me! I'm helping online! One day, you can do the same - or, even MORE! Just keep learning! :-)
