1 3 Problem of the Day Rearrange the digits in . What fraction of the possible arrangements are true proportions? 1 3 2 6 =
Sloths may seem lazy, but their extremely slow movement helps to make them almost invisible to predators. Sloths sleep an average of 16.5 hours a day. To find out what percent of a 24-hour day 16.5 hours is, you can use a proportion or an equation.
Proportion Method Equation Method n Part Part 16.5 = What percent of 24 is 16.5? Whole 24 Whole 100 n · 24 = 100 · 16.5 n · 24 = 16.5 24n = 1,650 n = 0.6875 n = 68.75 n = 68.75% Sloths spend about 69% of the day sleeping!
Additional Example 1A: Using Proportions to Solve Problems with Percents Solve. What percent of 40 is 25? n 100 25 40 = Write a proportion. n· 40 = 100 · 25 Set the cross products equal. 40n= 2,500 Multiply. 40n 40 = 2,500 40 Divide each side by 40 to isolate the variable. n= 62.5 25 is 62.5% of 40.
Additional Example 1B: Using Proportions to Solve Problems with Percents Solve. 15 is 25% of what number? 25 100 15 n = Write a proportion. n· 25 = 100 · 15 Set the cross products equal. 25n= 1,500 Multiply. Divide each side by 25 to isolate the variable. 25n 25 = 1,500 25 n= 60 15 is 25% of 60.
Check It Out: Example 1A Solve. What percent of 50 is 10? n 100 10 50 = Write a proportion. n· 50 = 100 · 10 Set the cross products equal. 50n= 1,000 Multiply. 50n 50 = 1,000 50 Divide each side by 50 to isolate the variable. n= 20 10 is 20% of 50.
Check It Out: Example 1B Solve. 8 is 40% of what number? 40 100 8 n = Write a proportion. n· 40 = 100 · 8 Set the cross products equal. 40n= 800 Multiply. Divide each side by 40 to isolate the variable. 40n 40 = 800 40 n= 20 8 is 40% of 20.
Additional Example 2A: Using Equations to Solve Problems with Percents Solve. 35 is 28% of what number? 35 = 28% · n Write an equation. 35 = 0.28 · n Write 28% as a decimal. 35 0.28 0.28 · n 0.28 Divide each side by 0.28 to isolate the variable. = 125 = n 35 is 28% of 125.
Additional Example 2B: Using Equations to Solve Problems with Percents Solve. What percent of 9 is 18? 18 = n· 9 Write an equation. 18 9 n · 9 9 Divide each side by 9 to isolate the variable. = 2 = n Write the decimal as a percent. 200% = n 18 is 200% of 9.
36 0.24 0.24 · n 0.24 = Check It Out: Example 2A Solve. 36 is 24% of what number? 36 = 24% · n Write an equation. 36 = 0.24 · n Write 24% as a decimal. Divide each side by 0.24 to isolate the variable. 150 = n 36 is 24% of 150.
Check It Out: Example 2B Solve. What percent of 6 is 36? 36 = n· 6 Write an equation. 36 6 n · 6 6 Divide each side by 6 to isolate the variable. = 6 = n Write the decimal as a percent. 600% = n 36 is 600% of 6.
Additional Example 3: Finding Sales Tax A portable DVD player costs $225 before tax at an appliance warehouse. What is the sales tax rate if the tax is $18? Restate the question: What percent of $225 is $18? n 100 18 225 = Write a proportion. n · 225 = 100 ·18 Set the cross products equal. 225n = 1800 Multiply. 225n 225 1800 225 = Divide each side by 225. n = 8 8% of $225 is $18. The sales tax is 8%.
Check It Out: Example 3 A new flat screen TV costs $800 before tax at an appliance warehouse. What is the sales tax rate if the tax is $56? Restate the question: What percent of $800 is $56? n 100 56 800 = Write a proportion. n · 800 = 100 ·56 Set the cross products equal. 800n = 5600 Multiply. 800n 800 5600 800 = Divide each side by 800. n = 7 7% of $800 is $56. The sales tax is 7%.
