7. So what is a percentage? Percentage is a rate, number, or amount in each hundred. In other words, if the number you were calculating was out of 100, how often or how much would it be?

8. Percentages So… 15% = 15/100 =.15 60% = 60/100 =.6 3% = 3/100 =.03 Can be reduced to 3/20 You don’t need to write the last zero Notice zero place holder to put the 3 in the 100 th place

9. You Try A) 45% = ___/100 =.45 B) 55% = ___/___ =.____ C) ____% =____/____ =.25 D) ____% = 9/100 =._____

10. Percentages Part Deux Warm Up 1)0.85 = ____% 2)0.__ = 9% Solve for X 3)3x = 214) 4x = 32 5) 100 x 35 = _______6) 4500 / 100 = _____

11. Percent Box The Percent Box is an easy way to compute percent.

12. Percent Box Example 1 What is 30% of 200? Steps 1.Determine which numbers go in which box. 2. Place an “X” in the missing box. 3. Cross multiply and solve for X 30% 200 X 100X = 600

13. Percent Box Example 2 30% of what number is 20? Steps 1.Determine which numbers go in which box. 2. Place an “X” in the missing box. 3. Cross multiply and solve for X 30% 20 X 2000 = 30X

14. Percent Box Example 3 50 is what percent of 200? Steps 1.Determine which numbers go in which box. 2. Place an “X” in the missing box. 3. Cross multiply and solve for X 50 200 X 5000X = 200X

15. Percent Box YOUR TURN!!!! What is 40% of 80? Steps 1.Determine which numbers go in which box. 2. Place an “X” in the missing box. 3. Cross multiply and solve for X

16. Percent Box YOUR TURN!!!! 30 is 20% of what number? Steps 1.Determine which numbers go in which box. 2. Place an “X” in the missing box. 3. Cross multiply and solve for X
