Let's find 72% of 1 using proportion.

72% is 72 out of 100.

\[ \frac{ 72 }{100} \]

Write the proportion to find x out of 1.

\[ \frac{ 72 }{100} = \frac{x}{ 1 } \]

Cross-multiply: 72 × 1 = 100x

\[ 72 \cdot 1 = 100x \]

Solve for x: (72 × 1) ÷ 100 = x

\[ \frac{ 72 }{100} = x \]

Hence, 72% of 1 is 0.72.

Method 2: Keyword-Based

Use keywords: "of" means multiply.

Convert 72% to decimal: 0.72

\[ x = 1 \cdot 0.72 \]

So, 72% of 1 is 0.72.

Method 3: Formula-Based

Use the formula: percent × whole = part

Convert 72% to decimal: 0.72

\[ \text{Percentage} \cdot \text{Whole} = \text{Part} \]

1 × 0.72 = 0.72

Thus, 72% of 1 is 0.72.
