CHAPTER 6Percent
Chapter 6-1-BPercent of a Number
What is a percent? It is a ratio that compares a number to 100.
How are percents related to proportional relationships?
Some students are collecting money for a local pet shelter. The model shows they have raised 60% of their $2,000 goal or $1,200. Sketch the model and
label using decimals instead of percents.
Sketch the model using fractions instead of percents.
Use these models to write two multiplication sentences that are equivalent to 60% of 2,000 = 1,200.
Chapter 6-1-BPercent of a Number
KEY CONCEPT To find the percent of a number such as 60% of 2,000, you can
use either of the following methods: Write the percent as a fraction and then multiply.
All percents are out of 100. Reduce your fractions to make multiplying easier.
Write the percent as a decimal and then multiply. To change a percent to its decimal form, move the decimal two spaces left.
Example 40% of 70
Which method do you prefer?
Chapter 6-1-BPercent of a Number
Now you try! You can use the method you prefer. 15% of 100 55% of 160 8% of 125
USE PERCENTS GREATER THAN 100% Percents that are greater than 100% mean that the
percent is greater than the whole. Example: 110% = 1.1 or 11/10
Find 150% of 20 Find 160% of 35 Find 125% of 64

Chapter 6-1-CPercent and Estimation
Given the percent in the graph to the right, what fraction of women took lessons at school? 30/100 = 3/10
If 200 women were surveyed, how many of them took lessons at school? (Use the fraction above and mental math.) 60 women
Use a fraction to estimate the number of men who took lessons at school. Assume 200 men were surveyed. Sometimes an exact answer is
not needed when using percents. One way to estimate the percent of a number is to use a fraction.
26% is close to 25% or ¼. ¼ of 200 is 50.
Chapter 6-1-CPercent and Estimation
REAL WORLD EXAMPLE In a recent year, quarterback Carson Palmer completed
62% of his passes. Hew threw 520 passes. About how many did he complete? 62% is close to 60%. We can write 60% as the fraction . Then we multiply by 520 to get…
…about 312 passes.
Now you try! REAL WORLD EXAMPLE Box turtles have been known to live for 120 years.
American alligators have been known to live 42% as long as box turtles. About how long can an American alligator live? About 48 years.
Chapter 6-1-CPercent and Estimation
Another method for estimating the percent of a number is to first to find 10% of the number and then multiply. REMEMBER: To find 10% of a number, just move the
decimal place to the left once. Example: 10% of 170 is 17. Example: 10% of 15.4 is 1.54.
REAL WORLD EXAMPLE Maria and her friends ordered a pizza that cost $14.72.
She is responsible for 20% of the bill. About how much money will she need to pay?
We can round $14.72 up to $15.00. Then we can find 10% of $15.00 to get $1.50. We can double the $1.50 to find the 20%.
She owes $3.
How could we solve this by using a fraction to estimate?
Chapter 6-1-CPercent and Estimation
Choose which method you’d like to use! Use a fraction or find 10% of the number and
multiply! REAL WORLD EXAMPLE
Dante plans to put 80% of his paycheck in to a savings account. His paycheck this week was $295. About how much money will he put into his savings? About $240.
REAL WORLD EXAMPLE A town sold 440 tickets to a chamber music concert in
the town square. Of the tickets sold, 61% were discounted for senior citizens. About how many senior citizens bought tickets for the concert? About 264
Chapter 6-1-CPercent and Estimation
You can also estimate percents of numbers when the percent is greater than 100 or less than 1. Estimate 122% of 50.
122% is close to 120%. 120% of 50 = (100% of 50) + (20% of 50) 120% of 50 = Or about 60.
Estimate % of 589. 589 is close o 600. % is one-fourth of 1%. 1% of 600 = . One-fourth of 6 is

Chapter 6-2-CThe Percent Equation
Suppose there are 854,000 different species of spiders, insects, crustaceans, millipedes, and centipedes on Earth. The graph shows that 88% of the total number of species of arthropods are insects. Use the percent proportion to find how
many species are insects. Express the percent of insects as a
decimal. Then multiply the decimal by 854,000. What do you notice?
You have used a percent proportion to find the missing part, percent, or whole. You can also use a percent equation.
6-2-C The Percent Equation
Using thePERCENT PROPORTION
We get thePERCENT EQUATION
part = percent • wholeThe percent must be in DECIMAL
FORM!(Move the decimal two places to the left.)
Chapter 6-2-CThe Percent Equation
Find the Part What number is 12% of 150?
PERCENT EQUATIONpart = percent • whole
p = 0.12 • 150 p = 18 So, 18 is 12% of 150.
Now you try! What is 6% of 200?
p = 0.06 • 200 = 12 Find 72% of 50.
p = 0.72 • 50 = 36 What number is 46% of 200?
p = 0.46 • 200 = 92
A percent must always be converted to a decimal or a fraction when it is used in an equation.
Chapter 6-2-CThe Percent Equation
Find the Percent 21 is what percent of 40?
PERCENT EQUATIONpart = percent • whole
21 = n • 40 Divide both sides by 40. n = 0.525 Since n represent the
decimal form, the percent is 52.5%.
So, 21 is 52.5% of 40.
Now you try! 35 is what percent of 70?
35 = n • 70 50%
What percent of 125 is 75? 75 = n • 125 60%
What percent of 40 is 9? 9 = n • 40 22.5%
27 is what percent of 150? 27 = n • 150 18%
Remember to write the decimal as a percent in your final answer.
To change a decimal
into a percent, move
the decimal to the
right two spaces.
Chapter 6-2-CThe Percent Equation
Find the Whole 13 is 26% of what
number? PERCENT EQUATION
part = percent • whole 13 = 0.26 • w
Divide both sides by 0.26. w = 50 So, 13 is 26% of 50.
Remember, when dividing by decimals, you must move the
decimal in the dividend the same number of spaces you move the
decimal in the divisor.
Now you try! 39 is 84% of what
number? 39 = 0.84 • w w =

MAKE A CONJECTURE: Why are the amounts of increase the same but the percent different?
Chapter 6-3-BPercent of Change
KEY CONCEPT A percent of change is a ratio that compares the
change in quantity to the original amount.
When the percent of change is positive, then it is called a percent of increase. When the percent of change is negative, then it is called percent of decrease.
What is another way we can determine if the change is a decrease or increase?
In the percent of change formula, the decimal representing the percent of change must be written as a percent in your final answer.
Chapter 6-3-BPercent of Change
Find each percent of change. Round to the nearest whole percent if necessary. State whether the percent of change is an increase or a decrease. 100 acres to 140 acres
40%, increase 48 notebooks to 14 notebooks
-71%, decrease $15.60 to $11.70
-25%, decrease 624 feet to 702 feet

Chapter 6-3-CSales Tax and Tip
Sales tax is an additional amount of money charged on items that people buy.
EXAMPLE A DVD player costs $140 and the sales tax is 5.75%. What is the total
cost of the DVD player? METHOD 1: Add sales tax to the regular price
First find the sales tax. 0.0575 × 140 = 8.05
Next, add the sales tax to the regular price.
$140 + $8.05 = $148.05
METHOD 2: Add the percent of tax to 100% First, add the percents together.
100% + 5.75% = 105.75%
Then find the new percent of the regular price.
1.0575 × 140 = $148.05
Choose the method you
prefer and try this one!

Chapter 6-3-CSales Tax and Tip
A tip or gratuity is a small amount of money in return for a service. The total price is the regular price of the service plus the tip.
A customer wants to tip 15% of the restaurant bill. What will be the total bill with tip? METHOD 1: Add the tip to the regular price.
First, find the tip. 0.15 × 35 = 5.25
Then add the tip to the bill to find the total cost. $35.00 + $5.25 = $40.25
METHOD 2: Add the percent of tip to 100%. First, add the percents together.
100% + 15% = 115% Then find the new percent of the bill.
1.15 × 35 = $40.25
Another way to calculate the tip is to
find 10% of the bill and double that for a 20%
tip!

Chapter 6-3-DDiscount
Discount is the amount by which the regular price of an item is reduced. The sale price is the regular price minus the discount.
REAL WORLD EXAMPLE A DVD normally costs $22. This week it is on sale for
25% off the original price. What is the sale price of the DVD?
METHOD 1: Subtract the discount from the regular price First, find the amount of the discount.
0.25 × 22 = 5.50 Next, subtract the discount from the original price.
$22.00 - $5.50 = $16.50
METHOD 2: Subtract the percent of discount from 100% First, subtract the discount percent from 100%
100%-25% = 75% Then calculate the discounted price.
0.75 × 22 = $16.50

Chapter 6-3-EFinancial Literacy: Simple Interest
When calculating simple interest, it is just a matter of plugging what you know in to the formula and solving for what you don’t know! Arnold has $580 is a savings account that pays 3%
interest. How much interest will he earn in each amount of time? 5 years
I = 580 • 0.03 • 5 I = 87
Arnold will earn $87 in interest in 5 years.
6 months I = 580 •0.03 • 0.5 I = 8.7
Arnold will earn $8.70 in interest in 6 months.
Notice that when we calculated the interest after 6 months, we used 0.5 for time. Because time
is always in YEARS, we sometimes have to write our time as a fraction or decimal.
