Percent:

Decimals, Fractions, and Percents

Percents can be written as a decimal or a fraction.

Percent of a Number

You can use mental math strategies such as doubling, halving, and dividing by ten to find the percent of some numbers.

ex. 12 1/2 of 50%= 0.125x 50= 6.25



Combining Percents

Percents can be combined by adding to solve problems.
ex. 3%+5%=7%



You can add the combined percent amount to the original number to find the increase in a number.

ex. 10% of 100= 0.10 x 100=10 100+10= 110



You can multiply the original number by a single percent greater than 100.

ex. 110% of 100 = 1.10x 100 = 110



Percents of percents can be used to determine amounts that result from consecutive percent increases or decreases.
