This math topic explores the concept of expressing percentages as equivalent fractions and solving them using the cross-multiplication technique. It includes problems where the student must find the unknown percent, part, or whole, given two of these elements. Each question is presented with a structured grid showing actual values and percentages, and students need to apply cross-multiplication to compute the missing value. The topic allows students to improve their understanding and manipulation of percentages and fractions within a mathematical context.
