What does this generator do?

The generator always rolls a new problem with a friendly percent (10 %, 20 %, 25 %, 50 % or 75 %) and an integer part. Click "New problem" for a fresh one.

How to solve it

Find what 1 % is first: divide the part by the percent. Then multiply 1 % by 100. Or use the friendly-fraction shortcut: 25 % = 1/4, so the whole is 4 × 12 = 48. It helps to picture how many quarters, halves or tenths still fit into the whole.
