Percentsby Mrs. Fredericks Use the percent proportion = Use the percent equation part = percent • whole
Find the percent What percent of 15is 9? Let n represent the percent = 9 • 100 = 15n 900 = 15n 15 15 n = 60 so it is 60%
Find the part What numberis 40% of 120? Let p represent the part = 40 • 120 = 100p 4800 = 100p 100 100 p = 48
Find the whole 18 is 25% of what number? Let w represent the whole = 18 • 100 = 25 w 1800 = 25 w 25 25 w = 72
Using the percent equation part = percent• whole
Find the percent 21 is whatpercent of 40? Let n represent the percent 21 = n• 40 21 = 40n 40 40 n = 0.525 YOU MUST CHANGE THE DECIMIAL TO % FORM So we must rewrite it as 52.5%
Find the part What number is 12% of 150? Let p represent the part YOU MUST USE THE DECIMAL FORM OF THE % p = 0.12• 150 p = 18
Find the whole 13 is 26% of what number? Let w represent the whole YOU MUST USE THE DECIMAL FORM OF THE % 13 = 0.26• w 13 = 0.26w 0.26 0.26 w = 50
Try this problem, use either method. 3 is 12% of what number?
Proportion Equation = part = percent • whole = 3 = 0.12 • w 12w = 300 3 = 0.12w 12 12 0.12 0.12 w = 25 w = 25
Let’s try one more. Use the other method this time. What is 72% of 50?
Proportion Equation = part = percent • whole = p = 0.72 • 50 100p = 3600 p = 36 100 100 p = 36
