Three Types of Percent Problems Return to table of contents 20
Types of Percent Problems Remember, percents are "parts of a whole". The part is the numerator and the whole is the denominator. 17% means 17 parts per 100 or We are going to solve problems involving percents. There are 3 types of problems: 1. Find the part What number is 54% of 34? 2. Find the whole 4 is 60% of what number? 3. Find the percent 18 is what percent of 28? 21
Two words that will occur in these types of problems are: "is" "of" Types of Percent Problems These words have specific meanings in math. "Is" means equals (=) "Of" means multiply To solve a percent problem, translate the words into an equation. Change the following: 1. Percent into a decimal 2. "is" to "=" 3. "of" to " " 4. Unknown to "x" Then, solve the equation. 22
Finding the Part... 23
Find the Part Examples: Find 40% of 60 Write a mathematical sentence.40 60 = 24 Click 20% of 90 Write a mathematical sentence.20 90 = 18 Click 24
Write a Mathematical Sentence What is 10% of 88? X =.10 88 Try these: X = 8.8 Find 12% of 70 What is 40% of 28? 25
Set Up a Proportion Another Method: You can also solve percent problems by setting up a proportion. Since percents are parts of a whole, you can create the following proportion: 26
Set Up a Proportion When figuring out which is the "part" and which is the "whole", remember that you take a percent of the whole and the answer is the part. In other words, the whole is with the word "of" and the part is with the word "is". 27
Proportion Method Steps 1. Set up the proportion as shown. is of = % 100 Note: You can use this box to solve many problems involving percents! 2. Substitute given values into the proportion. Note: Try to find the numbers that are attached to the words/symbols: is, of, or percent. 3. Solve the proportion. 28
Proportion Method Example Example: What is 25% of 400? Steps 1. Set up the proportion. is of? 400 = 25 100 % 100 2. Substitute. What is 25% of 400? Click on each box to see if you substituted correctly. 3. Solve. click 400 x 25 = 100w 10,000 = 100w 10,000/100 = w 100 = w 29
Proportion Method Example Example: What is 32% of 300? Steps 1. Set up the proportion. is of? 300 = 32 100 % 100 2. Substitute. What is 32% of 300? Click on each box to see if you substituted correctly. 3. Solve. 300 x 32 = 100w 9,600 = 100w 9600/100 = w 96 = w click 30

Percent of Change Return to table of contents 65
Percent of Change Percent of Change is the ratio of the amount of increase or decrease to the original amount. It is an increase when the new amount is larger than the original and a decrease when the new amount is smaller than the original. To find the percent of change, use the following proportion: Percent of change: Amount of increase or decrease = % Original Amount 100 66
Percent of Change Find the percent of change (be sure to label your answer as an increase or decrease). Examples: Original amount: 20 Original amount: 40 New amount: 30 New amount: 10 Percent of change= Percent of change= 67
Percent of Change Identify the percent of change as an increase or decrease. Then find the percent of change. 1. Original: 45 New: 75 2. Original: 100 New: 42 3. Original: 58 New: 75 68

Representing Percent Equations Algebraically Return to table of contents 78
Representing Percent Equations Algebraically You have already begun translating percent problems into equations. Remember... To solve a percent problem, translate the words into an equation. Change: 1. Percent into a decimal 2. "is" to "=" 3. "of" to " " 4. Unknown to "x" Then, solve the equation. 79
Think about this... 100% + 5% = 105% What does that equation look like in decimal form? 1 + 0.05 = 1.05 So, if you increase the price of a shirt 5%, the new price is 105% of the original price. To represent that algebraically, you would write it this way: Let s = the original price of the shirt 1s + 0.05s = 1.05s 80
Representing Percent Equations Algebraically Example: You sell a shirt for $15.50. This price represents a 5% increase from the price you paid for the shirt. How much did it cost you to purchase the shirt? Let s = the original price of the shirt 1s + 0.05s = 15.50 1.05s = 15.50 s = $14.76 The shirt cost you $14.76. 81
Representing Percent Equations Algebraically Example: The population of your school decreased by 13% from last year to this year. If there are 957 students in the school this year, how many were there last year? 2 students solved this differently. Who is correct? Why? Is one method easier than the other? Student 1: Student 2: 100% 13% = 87% 1n.13n = 957 87% of what is 957? 0.87n = 957 0.87n = 957 n = 1,100 students n = 1,100 students 82
Representing Percent Equations Algebraically So, what does this mean? m + 0.15m = 1.15m This could mean increase m by 15% or multiply m by 1.15. They mean the same thing! Click Likewise, what is the meaning of w 0.42w = 0.58w This means both decrease w by 42% or multiply w by 0.58. Click 83

47 Write an equation to represent the problem, then solve. Be prepared to show your equation! The number of students in your class has decreased by 12% since September. How many students were there at the start if there are currently 19 students? 87
48 Choose the equation that represents the situation. A 15% discount. A x + 0.15x = 0.85x B x + 1.5x = 2.5x C x 0.015x = 0.985x D x 0.15x = 0.85x 88
49 Write an equation to represent the problem, then solve. Be prepared to show your equation! When you paid your bill at a restaurant, you included 24% more to cover tax and tip. If you paid $55.80, what was the amount of the original bill? 89

Tip Tip: An amount added to a bill for services provided. Customers traditionally tip 18 20% for good service in restaurants and salons. Example: If the restaurant bill is $45 and you want to leave a 20% tip, how much money should you leave? 45 +.20(45) = 54 or 45(1.20) = 54 The customer will leave $54 on the table.

Sales Tax Sales tax : An amount of money that is calculated by applying a percentage rate to the taxable price of a sale. Sales taxes are collected by the buyer from the seller, who turns it over to the government. In NJ the sales tax rate is 7%. To calculate Sales Tax alone find the percent (tax) of the price. That is the amount that you owe in addition to the cost of the item. To find the total cost of an item, you must add the sales tax to the cost. There are 2 ways to do this: 1. Find the percent of the item and add it to the original amount. 2. Find 100% + tax% of the original amount. 120
