This chapter was about percents and how to use them in real life to solve many of the problems in ... well, real life.
You can represent percents using a hundred grid - 4.1
1 grid = 100%
This grid shows 50%
Percents can also be written as fractions and decimals - 4.2
50% = 1/2 = 0.5
To calculate the percent of a number, write the percent as a decimal and multiply it by the number - 4.3
50% of 100 = 0.5 x 100
50% of 100 = 50
To calculate the increase in a number - 4.4
- You can add the combined percent amount to the number original number-
12% of 100 = 0.12 x 100 = 12
100 + 12 = 112
- You can multiply the original number by a single percent greater than 100-
112% of 100 = 1.12 x 100
112% of 100 = 112
