15. Additional Example 3: Ordering Rational Numbers4 4 5
Order 17%, 0.25, , 0.1, , and 20% from least to greatest.
Step 1: Write the numbers as decimals with the
same number of decimal places. 3 4
= 0.75
17% = 0.17
0.25 = 0.25 4 5
= 0.80
0.1 = 0.10
20% = 0.20

16. Additional Example 3 Continued4 4 5
Order 17%, 0.25, , 0.1, , and 20% from least to greatest.
Step 2: Graph the numbers on the number line.
Step 3: Compare the decimals.
0.10 < 0.17 < 0.20 < 0.25 < 0.75 < 0.80
From least to greatest, the numbers are: 0.1, 17%,
20%, 0.25, , . 3 4 5

19. Additional Example 4: Choosing a Method of Computation
Decide whether using pencil and paper, mental math, or a calculator is most useful when solving the following problem. Then solve.
If 27 out of 50 people have the newspaper delivered to their home, what percent of these people have the newspaper delivered to their home? 27 50
27 out of 50 =
Think: 27 ÷ 50 divides evenly.
Using pencil and paper is the best method.
= 0.54
= 54%
Write the decimal as a percent.
54% of the people have the newspaper delivered to their home.
