Guided Notes: Finding a Percent of a Number.

1. The name of the video set you are watching is called _________
__________________.

2. For finding a percent of a number remember that a number is just an

__________________ and a percent is only a ______________________. So really
what it means is that you are ______________ ______ __________ of a
_______________.
3. Prediction (pause video) If I walked into the park and found 20 lady bugs,
and wanted to give 25% of those lady bugs to a friend. Set up the problem
on how I would figure out how many lady bugs I have given away.

4. When finding what percent of a number what you are really finding is how
much _________ ___________ or ________________ of the total is.

5. So the term of in math means _____________

6. So when someone says

1
2

of 16, it really means __________________ which

becomes _______
7. So setting up the problem 25% of 20 is similar to setting up a ______________
problem and how we set it up to solve is _______ ____ 20.
8. When multiplying by a percent we just ignore the percent and multiply
straight through.
(True or false). If false then give 2 reasons why.

9. Remember from the last video that we can rewrite 25% as a _________ over
_______ and it becomes the value --------. Pause video. Going back to earlier
notes on the unit fraction, we can reduce this value to ------. We also know
that a percent has a _______ form we can write as (prediction) ________.

10.Unpause video so to rewrite 25% of 20 we can write it as multiplying two

fractions together. Recall when multiplying two fractions together you (circle
the correct answer)
a. Multiply the numerators together and leave the denominators alone
b. Cross-multiply the denominator of one with the numerator of the
second.
c. Multiply the numerators together for the new numerator, and multiply
the denominators together for the new denominator.
d. Find the common denominator and then multiply just the top.
11.Converting 20 into a fraction would become -----------12.So multiplying -------- x 20 is the same as ----------- x -----------. Multiplying the
top numbers will give you ___________, and multiplying the bottom numbers
(or denominators) will give you __________. This will give you a fraction of
--------------. At this point we know that a fraction is just a _________ problem.
So the fraction will give you a total of ___________ lady bugs.
13.So 25% of 20 is ___________.
14.So in review, to find the percent of a number all we have to do is multiply the
_____________ ___________ of the percent by the ____________.
15.There is a second method that you may use to find the percent of a number
is with ____________ form.
16.In the previous video we learned that a percent has both a _____ form and a
__________ form.
17.For Decimal form you start the problem the same way and replace the word
____ with _________, Next we replace the percent with its ____________ form.
Converting 25% into this form the value becomes ___________. Then all we
have to do is _______________
18.
Pause video. Use the method of multiplying decimals that you used
in decimal operation to do the following problem

Pretend that your best friend has a job walking dogs, and offers to pay
you 35% of his earnings if you help him walk some of the dogs. So if your

friend earns $80 dollars that week, how much would you make? (use either
method to solve this, NO CALCULATOR)
20.
In all cases a percent times a number will make a smaller number (True
/ False), If false, give an example of why
21.
Remember that a percent is just a _______________ and so an improper
fraction which its definition is ___________ than 1, and so the percent in that
case will be ____________ than 1.

Suppose last year your school had 400 students, and increased this
year by 120%. What would be the new total of students attending the school
this year? Show work for credit
