Discussion
Example 3: From the shipment of 80 crates of pomelo, Store A sold 42 crates
In this section, you will learn how to apply the concepts of fractions, decimals,
while Store B sold 31 from a shipment of 50 crates. Express the sold crates by
and percentage in real life situations.

Fractions Solution:

Example 1: A piece of wood measures 12 feet. If a carpenter needs to cut it into 5  Store A sold 42 crates out of 80 crates.
pieces with equal sizes, how long will each piece be in inches? 42
 In fraction form:
Solution: 80
Divide numerator to its denominator to convert
Since there are 12 inches in one foot, 12 feet is 12 × 12 = 144 inches. decimal form: 42÷80 = 0.525
144 4  Multiply the quotient in step 2 in converting percent:
=28 0.525 × 100 = 52.5%
5 5
 Store B sold 31 from a shipment of 50 crates.
144 4 31
Thus =28 inches is the length of each piece of wood.  In fraction:

 Divide numerator to its denominator to convert to
decimal: 31÷50 = 0.62
Example 2: Mang Rody has P2,000 as capital for his sari-sari store. P600 is spent  Multiply the quotient in step 2 in converting percent:
for snack food, P800 for toiletries, P400 for cellphone load, and the rest for instant
noodles. Express each item as fraction of his capital (in simplest form). 0.62 × 100 = 62%

 To find a percent of a number, convert the percent into a decimal by
moving the decimal point two places to the left.
1  Then multiply this decimal number to the given number.
Example 3. For every hectare of a certain crop, 8 gallons of fertilizer must be
10  You can also use the formula
applied. Express it in decimal form. P=BR where P=Part ; B=Base amount ∧R=Rate

Solution 1: 8 is mixed number.
10 Example 1. Find 20% of 250.
1 81 Solution: Given: P = ?, R= 20% and B= 250. Use the formula P=BR
Step 1: Change to improper fraction: 8 =
10 10
20% = .20 = 0.20×250 = 50
Step 2: Divide: 81÷10 = 8.1
Therefore, 20% of 250 is 50.

Solution 2: Step 1: Retain the whole number which is 8 then divide .

Example 2. What percent of 60 is 40?
8 1÷8 = 0.1
Solution: Given: P = 40, B = 60, R = ?
Step 2: Combine the whole number(8) and the quotient (0.1)

Example 4: Allaine got 0.87 of correct answer in a test. How many correct
=40÷ 60=0.67 ×100=67 %
60
answers that she got?
Therefore 40 is 67% of 60.
Solution: Since you are looking for the number of items, you need to
convert it in fraction.
Example 3. A basket full of fruits containing 6 apples, 9 oranges, 5 pineapples.
2
What are the percentages of each fruit? The decreased price = P2,990.00 - P2,500.00 =
P490.00
P
Solution: Total fruits in the basket is 20. Use the formula R=
B P 490
Thus, =0.1638× 100=16.38 %
P 2,990
6
Apples = =6 ÷ 20=0.3 × 100=30 % The decrease price is about 16.38%.

Oranges = =9 ÷ 20=0.45 ×100=45 %
20 Example 7. In a given barangay, the 2015 population was 3,978. Population
increased to 5,634 in 2019. Find the percentage of population increase.
5
Pineapples = =5 ÷20=0.25 ×100=25 % Solution:
20
The increase in the population from 2015 to 2019 = 5,634-3,978 = 1,656

Example 4. In a class of 50 students, 18% got a grade of B. How many students 1,656
Thus, =0.4162× 100=41.62 %
got B? 3,978
Solution: Use the formula P=BR The increase in population is about 41.62

Convert 18% into decimal = 18% ÷ 100 = 0.18 = 0.18 × 50 = 9 V. Activities

Therefore, 9 students got B in a class of 50 students. Activity 1. Fractions
