Introduction
An understanding of percents, ratios, and proportion is needed to prepare solutions and solids in varying amounts.
Finding a missing value in a ratio or fraction proportion problem is necessary for dosage calculation.

Percents
Provide a way to express relationship of parts to a whole.Indicated by the symbol %.
Percent means “per 100” or “divided by 100”.
The whole is always 100 units.

A number < 1 is expressed as less than 100 percent.
A number > 1 is expressed as greater than 100 percent.
Any expression of one equals 100 percent.

Convert 42% to a decimal:
Move the decimal point two places to the left
Insert the zero before the decimal point for clarity
42% = 42.% = .42. = 0.42
Rule 2-1Rule 2-1 To convert a percent to a decimal, remove the percent symbol. Then divide the remaining number by 100.

2-14
Percent Strength of Mixtures (cont.)
Rule 2-5Rule 2-5a. For fluid mixtures prepared with a drydry
medication, the percent strength represents the number of grams of the medication contained in 100 mLs of the mixture.
b. For fluid mixtures prepared with a liquidliquid medication, the percent strength represents the number of milliliters of the medication contained in 100 mLs of the mixture.

Percent Strength of Mixtures (cont.)
Determine the amount of hydrocortisone per 100 mL of lotion.
A 2% hydrocortisone lotion will contain 2 grams of hydrocortisone powder in every 100 mL.
Therefore, 300 mL of the lotion will contain 3 times as much, or 6 grams of hydrocortisone powder.

Percent Strength of Mixtures (cont.)
Determine the amount of hydrocortisone per 100 grams of ointment.
Each percent represents 1 gram of hydrocortisone per 100 grams of ointment.
A 1% hydrocortisone ointment will contain 1 gram of hydrocortisone powder in every 100 grams.
Therefore, 50 grams of the ointment will contain ½ as much or 0.5 grams of hydrocortisone powder.

Canceling Units in Fraction Proportions
You can cancel units in fraction proportions.
Rule 2-21Rule 2-21If the units of the numerator of the two fractions
are the same, they can be dropped or canceled before setting up a proportion.
Likewise, if the units from the denominator of the two fractions are the same, they can be canceled.
