1 Section 6.5 Applications Involving Percents The focus of this section is to show how to set up a proportion to solve word problems involving real-life applications of percent. If the student needs a review of proportions and percent, Sections 6.2 and 6.3 should be read before continuing. Note: For problems involving a percent, we set up a proportion where one side is reserved for the percent, and the other side is reserved for two numbers. We let a variable represent the percent or amount we are trying to find. Number Percent = Original amount Since represents the fractional form of the percent, will always equal. We only need to assign values to the variables, and. This is illustrated in the following examples. Example A jacket was originally priced at $145. It is now on sale at 30% of the original price. How much does the jacket cost now? First, we will set up a proportion to find 30% of $145, and then we will subtract this amount from the original price of $145. The original price of $145 represents the whole or initial amount, and should be written in the denominator of the right Copyright 2014 Luis Soto-Ortiz 480
2 side of the proportion (it s the in the figure above). We also know the percent, which we write as (it s the in the figure above). There is only one spot remaining (the ) which in this case is the amount that will be subtracted from the original price. This gives the following proportion: = Answer: 30 = = 4350 = = = The original price of the jacket will be reduced by $ Thus, its discounted price is $145 - $43.50 = $ Example Wendy went to a store and bought an LED TV for $1,590. If there is a 6% sales tax, how much will she pay in total? First, we will set up a proportion to find 6% of $1,590, and then we will add this amount to the original price of $1,590. The original price of $1,590 represents the whole or initial amount, and should be written in the denominator of the right Copyright 2014 Luis Soto-Ortiz 481
3 side of the proportion (it s the ). We also know the percent, which we write as (it s the ). There is only one spot remaining (the ) which in this case is the amount in taxes that Wendy will have to pay. This gives the following proportion: = Answer: 6 = = 9540 = 9540 = = = The cost of the LED TV, including the 6% tax, will be $1,590 + $95.40 = $ Example A professional basketball team won 56 out of 82 games this season. What was the winning percentage of this team? In other words, what percentage of the total numbers of games played did the team win? Also, what percent of the 82 games did the team lose? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Copyright 2014 Luis Soto-Ortiz 482
4 In this question, 82 represents the entire or total number of games played, and should be written in the denominator of the right side of the proportion (it s the ). We also know the number of games won (the ) out of the total games played. We do not know the percent won, which we write as (it s the ). This gives the following proportion: = Answer: = = = = = = 68.3 Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth, the winning percentage of this basketball team was 68.3%. This means that the team lost % 68.3% = 31.7% of the 82 games they played. Copyright 2014 Luis Soto-Ortiz 483
5 Example A car dealer sold 1150 vehicles last year. Of this number, 38% were trucks. How many vehicles sold last year were trucks? In this question, 1150 represents the entire or total number of vehicles sold, and should be written in the denominator of the right side of the proportion (it s the ). We also know the percent of trucks sold, which we write as (it s the ). We do not know the number of trucks sold (the ) out of the total number of vehicles sold. This gives the following proportion: = Answer: 38 = = = = 437 = = Last year, the car dealer sold 437 trucks. Copyright 2014 Luis Soto-Ortiz 484
6 Example In a company, there are 632 employees, 280 of which are female. A. What percent of the employees are female? B. What percent of the employees are male? In this question, the total number of employees is 632 and should be written in the denominator of the right side of the proportion (it s the ). We also know the number of female employees (the ). We do not know the percent of trucks sold, which we write as (it s the ). This gives the following proportion: = Answer: = = = = = 44.3 = 44.3 Of the 632 workers that the company employs, 44.3% are female. Since % 44.3% = 55.7%, this means that 55.7% of the employees are male. Copyright 2014 Luis Soto-Ortiz 485
7 Example In a small district, 2,530 people turned out to vote for proposition A. Forty percent of the voters voted against it. A. What percent of the electorate voted in favor of Proposition A? B. How many people voted in favor of Proposition A? In this question, the total number of voters was 2,530 and should be written in the denominator of the right side of the proportion (it s the ). We also know that the percent of the electorate who voted against Proposition A was 40%. This means that % 40% = 60% voted in favor of it. We write this percent as (it s the ). We do not know the number of people who voted in favor of Proposition A (the ). This gives the following proportion: = Answer: 60 = = = = 1518 = = Of the 2530 people who voted, 1518 voted in favor of Proposition A. Copyright 2014 Luis Soto-Ortiz 486
8 Example At Tech-O University there are currently 360 male faculty. If this number represents 45% of the total number of faculty, how many faculty currently work at Tech-O University? In this question, we know the percent of male faculty working at the university, 45%, which we write as (it s the ). We also know that the number of male faculty is 360 (this is the ). We do not know the total number of faculty working at Techo University (the ). Therefore, the proportion can be set up as: = Answer: 45 = = = = = 800 = 800 Tech-O University currently employs 800 faculty in total. Copyright 2014 Luis Soto-Ortiz 487
9 Example The current selling price of a 3-bedroom house is $218,000. If the price of the house decreased by 12% from a year ago, what was the price of the house a year ago? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Since the price of the house decreased by 12% compared to the price it had a year ago, this means that its current price of $218,000 represents % 12% = 88% of the price it had a year ago. Hence, we know the percent, 88%, which we write as (it s the ). We also know the current price which is $218,000 (this is the ). We do not know the original price of the house a year ago (the ). Therefore, the proportion can be set up as: = Answer: 88 = = = 21,800, ,800,000 = = 247, = 247, Rounded to the nearest dollar, the price of the house a year ago was $247,727.

10 Applications of Percent Involving Simple Interest An important application of percent occurs when one deposits, invests or borrows an amount of money and a monthly or yearly simple interest rate determines the total balance after a certain number of months or years. The following definitions are used in simple interest rate problems: Principal (P): original amount deposited, invested or borrowed. Simple Interest Rate (r): percent of the original amount that was invested or borrowed and that is added to the balance each month (for monthly interest rates) or yearly (for yearly interest rates). Interest (I): The amount of money that is added to the original amount invested or borrowed each month or each year based on the simple interest rate. Therefore, interest represents a change in money. Time (t): Length of time that the original amount (principal) is invested or borrowed. One way to solve simple interest word problems is to set up the following proportion for simple interest: = We substitute the quantities that are known into the variables, and then solve the proportion by the cross multiply and divide method to determine the value of the remaining variable. Note that in the above proportion, the simple interest rate is a percent that is written as a fraction interest rate is 3%, we let = 3 and write simple interest rate is 7.12%, we let = 7.12 and write.. For example, if the simple in the proportion. Similarly, if the in the proportion. We will now illustrate the use of the simple interest proportion with some examples.

11 Example Patricia deposited $1,500 in a savings account that has an annual simple interest of 5%. How much interest will she earn in 8 years? In this example, we know the values of the following variables: P = $1,500 r = 5% t = 8 years and we are asked to find I, which is the amount of interest that Patricia will earn in 8 years. = Answer: 1,500 = 5 8, = = 1, = 60,000 60,000 = 1 = 600 = $600 Patricia will earn $600 in simple interest in 8 years if she deposits $1,500 at an annual rate of 5%. Copyright 2014 Luis Soto-Ortiz 490
12 Example John wants to have an interest income of $3,000 in one year. How much must he invest for one year at 6% simple interest? In this example, we know the values of the following variables: r = 6% I = $3,000 t = 1 year and we are asked to find P, which is the original amount that John must invest. = Answer: 3,000 = 6 1, = 3,000 = ,000 = 6 300,000 6 = ,000 = 1 = $50,000 John must invest $50,000 for one year at a yearly simple interest of 6% to have an interest income of $3,000 in one year. Copyright 2014 Luis Soto-Ortiz 491
13 Example A student borrowed some money from his father at 2% simple annual interest to buy a car. He paid his father $360 in interest after 3 years, how much did he borrow? In this example, we know the values of the following variables: r = 2% I = $360 t = 3 year and we are asked to find P, which is the original amount that the student borrowed from his father. = Answer: 360 = 2 3 = 360 = ,000 = 6 36,000 6 = 6 6 6,000 = 1 = $6,000 The student borrowed $6,000 from his father at an annual simple interest of 2% for 3 years.

14 Example Richard deposits $5,400 and has a balance of $6000 after a year. Determine the simple annual interest rate of the account. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent. In this example, we know the values of the following variables: P = $5,400 I = $6,000 $5,400 = $600 t = 1 year and we are asked to find r, which is the simple annual interest rate of the account. Answer: = = 5, = 5,400 1 $ $, = 60,000 = 5,400 60,000 5,400 = 5,400 5, = % The account in which Richard deposited the $5,400 has an annual simple interest rate of approximately 11.1%.
