Learning Objective:''
We'will'solve'problems'that'involve'finding'the'percent'of'a'number.'(Lesson'43)''
'
Concept Development:'
Percent'problems'usually'contain'3'pieces'of'information:
The$percent,$the$part,$and$the$whole.'If'you'know'2'of'those'pieces,'you'can'solve'
for'the'3rd'piece'of'information'algebraically'by'using'the'following:'
'

!"#$ = !"#$"%&!!!"#$%$

'
Examples:'
1.'66%'of'the'class'is'made'of'girls.''There'are'33'students'total.''How'many'girls'are'
there?'
'
2.'200'students'out'of'700'can'run'a'mile'in'under'8'minutes.''What'percentage'is'
that?''
'
3.'40%'of'the'class'got'As'on'the'last'test.'This'is'12'people'
