Math 8 Unit 5: Percent, Ratio, and Rate
Unit 5: Percent, Ratio, and Rate What you’ll learn: • Understand percents greater than or equal to 0% • Solve problems that involve percents • Understand ratios • Understand rates • Solve problems that involve ratios and rates
Unit 5: Percent, Ratio, and Rate Why it’s important: • Used when shopping to compare prices • Used when determining prices • Used in science (chemistry and physics)
Unit 5: Percent, Ratio, and Rate 5.1 Relating Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
5.1 Relating Fractions, Decimals, and Percents • Focus: Given a fraction, decimal or percent calculate the other two forms
Fraction – a ratio of one number to another • Very useful for showing parts of a whole • Unless the denominators are the same it is difficult to compare fractions • Must be reduced to lowest numbers Three out of a total of four squares are coloured in One out of a total of four squares are NOT coloured in
Decimal – number that shows a ratio based on fractions out of tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc... • Very easy to compare 75 out of one hundred squares are coloured 25 out of one hundred squares are NOT coloured
Percent – a fraction out of 100 • 100% is one whole Seventy five percent of the squares are coloured Twenty five percent of the squares are NOT coloured
Ex. Convert the fractions to decimals a. b. c. d.
Ex. • Convert the decimals to percent a. 0.23 b. 0.5 c. 0.03 d. 1.23
Ex. • Convert decimal to fraction • 0.57 • 0.4 • 0.01 • 1.25
Unit 5: Percent, Ratio, and Rate 5.2 Calculating Percents
5.2 Calculating Percents • Focus: Calculate percents from 0% to greater than 100%
5.2 Calculating Percents • Percent – a ratio out of one hundred 50% is the same as 50 out of 100 or
5.2 Calculating Percents • 10% is the same as 10 out of one hundred is the same as
5.2 Calculating Percents Percent • 0 < X < 100% less than one, smaller than original
5.2 Calculating Percents Percent • X = 100% same as original
5.2 Calculating Percents Percent • X > 100% more than one, greater than original • 160% is one a six tenths
5.2 Calculating Percents • For calculations with percent use cross multiplication • Ex. What is 60% of 50? X is to 60 as 50 is to 100 Cross multiply Divide by 100 to isolate X Answer
Percents are used for sales and taxes. A Blu-Ray costs $25. • What is the tax (5%)? • How much will you pay in total?
2nd method • Determine the total without calculating the tax first.
Ex. A sale says 20% off of a $25 Blu-ray Sale Price = Original – Sale Discount = $25 - $5 = $20 The sale price is $20. The sale discount is $5 off the price.
Sale Price = Original – Sale Discount = 100% - 20% = 80% The sale price is $20.
Unit 5: Percent, Ratio, and Rate 5.3 Solving Percent Problems
5.3 Solving Percent Problems • Focus: Find the whole, when given a percent, and find the percent increase and decrease
Remember • All percents are fractions out of 100
50% of a class is girls. There are 14 girls in the class. How many students are in the class. ????? There are 28 students in the class.
Double check • There are 14 girls out of a class of 28 students. Is this 50%?
An item on sale costs $40. The sale is 20% off. What is the pre-sale cost? The pre-sale cost is $50.
Unit 5: Percent, Ratio, and Rate 5.4 Sales Tax and Discount

Unit 5: Percent, Ratio, and Rate 5.5 Exploring Ratios
5.5 Exploring Ratios • Focus: Used models and diagrams to investigate ratios
5.5 Exploring Ratios • What is a better deal? • Option 1 – A $1275 dress at 75% off • Option 2 – A $400 dress at 25% off
5.5 Exploring Ratios • Option 1 – A $1275 dress at 75% off The first dress costs $318.75.
