Chey's Percent Post

Percent means: an equivalent fraction out of 100. In French percent means "out of 100".

Here is how we find



0.6%

0.6% blow-up

180%

12 3/4 (0.75)%

12 3/4 (0.75)% blow up

2.)

       F          D          P

1.) 3/40 = 0.075 = 7.5%

       D          P          F

2.) 5.98 = 598% = 5  98/100

       P           D         F

3.) 0.3% = 0.003 = 3/1000




3.) D-P    To convert a decimal to a percent you multiply the number by 100
Ex: 0.024 x 100= 24%

P-D    To convert a percent to a decimal you divide the number by 100
Ex: 26%  ÷ 100 = 0.26

D-F    To convert a decimal to a fraction you take the decimal, say it, and write in fraction form.
Ex: 0.024 (say it = twenty four thousandths/ 24 out of 1000) 24/1000

F-D    To convert a fraction to a decimal you take the fraction, say it, and write in decimal form.
Ex: 7/10 (say it = seven out of ten/ seven tenths) 0.7

P-F     To convert a percent to a fraction you write the percent as a fraction with 100 as the denomenator,
and then put it lowest terms or if it is "top heavy" you make it a mixed fraction instead of an improper fraction
Ex: 24% = 24/100   24/100 = 6/25      Ex: 180% = 180/100    180/100 = 1 8/10

F-P    To convert a fraction to percent you divide the numerator by the denomenator, then you take the answer and multiply it by 100.

4.)       MENTAL MATH                                                        CALCULATOR 
                  %    |     #                                                                    60/5 = 12
                 100  |     60
         /5      20   |     12     /5


                %  |     #    
              100 |    40     
/1000      0.1 |    0.04     /1000                                                  40/1000 = 0.04


                        



         %    |     #                        %    |      #     
        100  | 400                       100  |   400
/2        50 | 200  /2       *2       200  |   800       *2                                 400/2 = 200

50% + 200% = 250%            200 + 800 = 1000                                  400 *2 = 800
                                250%=1000                                                        200 + 100 = 1000






5.) Discount is the money you save. Sale Price is what you pay after you subtract the discount off of the original price. Total Price With Taxes is the original price with a percentage called taxes added on. In percents it is more than 100%. Ex A pair of boots is 59.99 and the tax is 13%, you are paying 113% of the original price of the boots. To find the Total Price With Taxes you find the percentage being used for taxes and then you add that too the original price.

50% off is a better deal than 25% off an already reduced price. This is because adding the 25% off's together does not make 50% off because it is 25% off the original price and then 25% off the reduced price, which is new 100%. Ex. A shirt at Walmart is $10.00 and is on sale for 50% off. A shirt at Old Navy is $10.00 and is on sale for 25% off. The next day the shirts are still on sale except the shirt from Old Navy is now an additional 25% off. Which is the better buy?

10/2 = 5 $10.00-$5.00 = $5.00 Walmart Sale Price = $5.00
($5 is the Discount and when you subtract it from the original price ($10) you get the sale price, which is $5)
10/4 = 2.50 $10.00-$2.50 = $7.50       7.50/4 = 1.875 ($1.88) 7.50-1.88 = $5.62
Old Navy Sale Price = $5.62
($4.38 is the Discount and when you subtract from the original price ($10) you get the sale price, which is $5.62) Walmart is the better buy.
