Pre-Algebra 8-2 Finding Percents 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

Pre-Algebra 8-2 Finding Percents Today’s Learning Goal Assignment Learn to find percents.

Pre-Algebra 8-2 Finding Percents Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air. When the relative humidity is 100%, the air has the maximum amount of water vapor. At this point, any additional water vapor would cause precipitation. To find the relative humidity on a given day, you would need to find a percent.

Pre-Algebra 8-2 Finding Percents Additional Example 1A: Finding the Percent One Number Is of Another A. What percent of 220 is 88? Method 1: Set up an equation to find the percent. p  220 = 88 Set up an equation p =Solve for p. p = is 40%. So 88 is 40% of 220.

Pre-Algebra 8-2 Finding Percents B. Eddie weighs 160 lb, and his bones weigh 24 lb. Find the percent of his weight that his bones are. Additional Example 1B: Finding the Percent One Number Is of Another Think: What number is to 100 as 24 is to 160? = number 100 part whole Set up a proportion. Substitute. n = n  160 = 100  n = 2400 Find the cross products.

Pre-Algebra 8-2 Finding Percents Additional Example 1 Continued n = 15 = The proportion is reasonable. Solve for n n = So 15% of Eddie’s weight is bone.

Pre-Algebra 8-2 Finding Percents Try This: Example 1A A. What percent of 110 is 11? Method 1: Set up an equation to find the percent. p  110 = 11 Set up an equation p =Solve for p. p = is 10%. So 11 is 10% of 110.

Pre-Algebra 8-2 Finding Percents B. Jamie weighs 140 lb, and his bones weigh 21 lb. Find the percent of his weight that his bones are. Think: What number is to 100 as 21 is to 140? = number 100 part whole Set up a proportion. Substitute. n = n  140 = 100  n = 2100 Find the cross products. Try This: Example 1B

Pre-Algebra 8-2 Finding Percents n = 15 The proportion is reasonable. Solve for n n = So 15% of Jamie’s weight is bone. =

Pre-Algebra 8-2 Finding Percents Additional Example 2A: Finding a Percent of a Number A. 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? 2 3 Choose a method: Set up an equation. Think: What number is 66 % of 57,000,000? 2 3 w = 66 %  57,000,000 Set up an equation. 2 3 w =  57,000, % is equivalent to
