What this topic is
The SAT Math topic Percentages covers part-of-a-whole calculations and percent increase, including when one quantity is p percent greater than another.
A student has to choose the correct total, convert a ratio into a percent, and treat greater-than wording as an increase from the original amount. Questions are short word problems about mixed counts or two compared numbers. Common traps include using the wrong base, mixing up percent of with percent greater than, and leaving a decimal instead of a percent.
Answer choices are often nearby percents that follow from those mistakes, and some items ask for p.
