The student will find percents of a quantity as a rate per 100.

The student will group equivalent percent, fraction, and decimal values.

Percentage: a rate per 100.

An amount per 100.

Where you can see this in everyday life:

Paying taxes Giving tips at restaurants Discounts while shopping Sports statistics

Percentages tell us a ratio out of 100 We can write percentages in 3 ways:

Fraction Decimal Percents How would we write 70 of the 100 students are in 6th grade

How would we write 70 of the 100 students are in 6th grade?

Fraction = 70 100 Decimal= .7 Percentage =70 = 70% 100

The average on the test was 85% How can you write this as a fraction, percent, and decimal?

85 , 85%, 100

.85

We use a proportion when we want to solve for percents. We arent given a value out of 100. What ratio we know=what ratio we want

There are 25 students in the class but only 18 of them like MSU. What percent of the class likes MSU?

What do we know? The number of kids in the class and the number that like MSU What do we want to know? The ratio of students out of 100.

18 students like MSU = X 25 students in the class 100

Cross multiply. 100(18)=25x 1800=25x 72=x

Then,

72 students like MSU = 72% of students like MSU 100 students total

A basketball player made 7 out of 12 free throws in last nights game. What is his shooting percentage at the line? = X 100

7 shots made 12 shots total X=58.3%

Sometimes we are given the percent and are looking for a specific percentage of the whole.
Set up what you know!

Part = Whole

Percentage 100

Whatever part you are looking for, plug in as X!

20% of the student body brings their own lunch. There are 120 students. What is the number of students that brought their lunch? X 120 = 20 100
