APRIL'S BOB and cumulative questions

(5)
What is 20% of 156?
to find this answer you divide 156 by 100 and multiply it by 20 to get 20% of 156
156 (divide) 100 = 1.56 X 20 = 31.2
31.2 = 20% of 156
the fraction would be
31.2/156 = 20/100

30 is 29% of what number?
divide 30 by 29 , then multiply that answer by 100
30 (divide) 29 = 1.03 X 100 = 103
the fraction would be
30/103 = 29/100


BOB
In this math unit I've learned alot even though there were times where I was so frustrated on what to divide and multiply and that stuff. I had a hard time with doubling the area of a shape I still dont get it that much right now but i'll learn on the way. The X K Y charts and the ratio tables were a bit comfusing at first but as i started working on them they became a piece of cake.
