24 50 4 1 25 4 3 8 • Warm Up • Rewrite each value as indicated. • 1. as a percent • 2. 25% as a fraction • 3. as a decimal • 4. 0.16 as a fraction 48% 0.375
Problem of the Day A number between 1 and 10 is halved, and the result is squared. This gives an answer that is double the original number. What is the starting number? 8
number part 100 = whole 66 n = 92 100 Additional Example 1A: Finding the Percent One Number Is of Another What percent of 92 is 66? Method 1: Set up a proportion to find the percent. Think:What number is to 100 as 66 is to 92? Set up a proportion. Substitute. n 92 = 100 66 Find the cross products. 92n = 6600
6600 n = 92 72 66 = 100 92 Additional Example 1A Continued Solve for n. n ≈ 72 The proportion is reasonable. 66 is approximately 72% of 92.
= 88 220p 220 220 Additional Example 1B: Finding the Percent One Number Is of Another What percent of 220 is 88? Method 2: Set up an equation to find the percent. p 220 = 88 Set up an equation. Divide both sides by 220. p= 0.4 0.4 is 40%. So 88 is 40% of 220.
? 40% 220 = 88 Substitute 40% for p. ? 0.40 220 = 88 Write a decimal and multiply. Additional Example 1B Continued Check 88 = 88 40% of 220 is 88.
number part 100 = whole 21 n = 140 100 Check It Out: Example 1A What percent of 140 is 21? Method 1: Set up a proportion to find the percent. Think:What number is to 100 as 21 is to 140? Set up a proportion. Substitute. n 140 = 100 21 Find the cross products. 140n = 2100
2100 n = 140 15 21 = 100 140 Check It Out: Example 1A Continued Solve for n. n = 15 The proportion is reasonable. 21 is 15% of 140.
11 p = Solve for p. 110 Check It Out: Example 1B What percent of 110 is 11? Method 2: Set up an equation to find the percent. p110 = 11 Set up an equation. p= 0.1 0.1 is 10%. So 11 is 10% of 110.
? 10% 110 = 11 Substitute 10% for p. ? .10 110 = 11 Write a decimal and multiply Additional Example 1B Continued Check 11 = 11 10% of 110 is 11.
1 5 = 20% and 0.31 = 31%. Additional Example 2A: Recreation Application Four friends volunteered to cut the grass around their neighbor’s house. Jay cut 23% of the grass, Aimee cut of the grass, Ken cut 0.31 of the grass, and Bryn cut the rest. What percent of the grass did Bryn cut? 1 5 First, find what percent of the grass Aimee and Ken cut. Next, subtract the percents you know from 100% to find the remaining percent. 100% - 23% - 20% - 31% = 26%. Bryn cut 26% of the grass.
2 5 = 40% and 0.325 = 32.5% Additional Example 2B: Recreation Application Jeremy organizes his movie collection by genre. of his collection are dramas, 0.325 are action films, 3% are documentaries, 19.5% are comedies, and the rest of his movies are independent films. What percent of his movie collection are independent films? 2 5 First, find what percent of his films are dramas and action. Next, subtract the percents you know from 100% to find the remaining percent. 100% - 40% - 32.5% - 3% - 19.5% = 5%. 5% of Jeremy’s movie collection are independent films.
3 5 = 60% and 0.19 = 19%. Check It Out: Example 2A Four store employees stock the shelves at the Electronics Store. Francisco stocked 14% of the shelves, Lauren stocked of the shelves, Ling stocked 0.19 of the shelves, and Mark stocked the rest. What percent of the shelves did Mark stock? 3 5 First, find what percent of the shelves Lauren and Ling stocked. Next, subtract the percents you know from 100% to find the remaining percent. 100% - 14% - 60% - 19% = 7%. Mark stocked 7% of the shelves.
1 2 = 50% and 0.125 = 12.5% Check It Out: Example 2B Joe organizes his CD collection by genre. of his collection is rock, 0.125 is pop, 6% is classical, 9.5% is country, and the rest of his CDs are jazz. What percent of his CD collection is jazz? 1 2 First, find what percent of his CDs are rock and pop. Next, subtract the percents you know from 100% to find the remaining percent. 100% - 50% - 12.5% - 6% - 9.5% = 22%. 22% of Joe’s CD collection is jazz.
55 100 p = 1,189,000 Additional Example 3A: Finding the Percent of a Number The city of Dallas, Texas has a population of approximately 1,189,000 people. The population of the city of Austin, Texas is 55% of the population of Dallas. To the nearest thousand, what is the population of Austin? Choose a method: Set up a proportion. Think:55 is to 100 as what population is to 1,189,000. Set up a proportion. 55 1,189,000 = 100 pFind the cross products.
65,395,000 100 100 100 = Additional Example 3A Continued 65,395,000 = 100p Simplify. Divide both sides by 100. 653,950 = p Simplify. 654,000 ≈ p Round to the nearest whole number. Austin has a population of approximately 654,000.
Helpful Hint When solving a problem with a percent greater than 100, look for the number that will be greater than the number given.
2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 Think:What number is 66 % of 57,000,000? w = 66 % 57,000,000 Set up an equation. w = 57,000,000 66 % is equivalent to . 2 2 3 3 Additional Example 3B: Finding the Percent of a Number After a drought, a reservoir had only 66 % of the average amount of water. If the average amount of water is 57,000,000 gallons, how much water was in the reservoir after the drought? Choose a method: Set up an equation.
114,000,000 3 Additional Example 3B Continued w = = 38,000,000 Simplify. The reservoir contained 38,000,000 gallons of water after the drought.
2 2 2 3 3 3 Think:What number is 50 % of 60,000,000? w = 50 % 60,000,000 Set up an equation. 2 3 w = 0.506 60,000,000 50 % is equivalent to 0.506. Check It Out: Example 3A After a drought, a river had only 50 % of the average amount of water flow. If the average amount of water flow is 60,000,000 gallons per day, how much water was flowing in the river after the drought? Choose a method: Set up an equation. w = 30,400,000 Simplify.
Check It Out: Example 3A Continued The water flow in the river was 30,400,000 gallons per day after the drought.
35 100 s = 214,000 Check It Out: Example 3B Ms. Marvin has a savings account with approximately $214,000 in it. Mr. Parson has 35% of the amount of Ms. Marvin’s savings account. To the nearest thousand, what is the amount of Mr. Parson’s savings account? Choose a method: Set up a proportion. Think:35 is to 100 as what amount is to $214,000. Set up a proportion. 35 214,000 = 100 sFind the cross products.
7,490,000 100 100 100 = Check It Out: Example 3B Continued 7,490,000 = 100s Simplify. Divide both sides by 100. 74,900 = s Simplify. 75,000 ≈ s Round to the nearest whole number. Mr. Parson has approximately $75,000 in his savings account.
