7-9 Percent Problems

To find the percent one number is of another, use this proportion: % is = 100 of If you are looking for 45% of 420, 45 replaces the percent sign and 420 replaces of. The first denominator, 100, always stays the same. The is part is what you have been asked to find.

Additional Example 1: Application There are 560 students in Ellas school. If 35% of the students participate in after-school sports, how many students participate in afterschool sports? 35 ___ First estimate your answer. Think: 35% = 100 , 1 __ which is close to , and 560 is close to 600. So 3 1 __ about of the students participate in after-school 3 sports.

1 __ 600 = 200 3
Helpful Hint

This is the estimate.

Think: 35 out of 100 is how many out of 560?

Additional Example 1 Continued Now solve: Let s represent the number of 35 s ___ = ___ students who participate in after100 560 school sports. 100 s = 35 560 The cross products are equal. 100s = 19,600 100s ____ = 19,600 _____ 100 100 s = 196 s is multiplied by 100. Divide both sides of the equation by 100 to undo multiplication.

Since 196 is close to your estimate of 200, 196 is a reasonable answer. 196 students participate in after-school sports.

Check It Out: Example 1 There are 480 students in Tishas school. If 70% of the students participate in the fundraising program, how many students participate in the fundraising program? 70 First estimate your answer. Think: 70% = ___ , 100 3 which is close to __ , and 480 is close to 500. So 4 3 about __ of the students participate in after 4 school sports. 3 __ 500 = 375 This is the estimate. 4

Check It Out: Example 1 Continued Now solve: Let s represent the number of 70 s ___ = ___ students who participate in the 100 480 fundraising program. 100 s = 70 480 The cross products are equal. 100s = 33,600 100s ____ = 33,600 _____ 100 100 s = 336 s is multiplied by 100. Divide both sides of the equation by 100 to undo multiplication.

Since 336 is close to your estimate of 375, 336 is a reasonable answer. 336 students participate in the fundraising program.

Additional Example 2: Application Johan is 25% of the way through his exercises. If he has exercised for 20 minutes so far, how much longer does he have to work out? 25% of the exercises are % is ___ = __ completed, so 20 minutes is 25% 100 of of the total time needed. 25 20 ___ = __ 100 m 100 20 = 25 m
Course 1

Set up a proportion. The of part is what you have been asked to find. The cross products are equal.

Additional Example 2 Continued

2,000 = 25m
2,000 25m _____ = ____ 25 25 80 = m

m is multiplied by 25.
Divide both sides by 25 to undo multiplication.

The time needed for the exercises is 80 min. So far, the exercises have taken 20 min. Because 80 20 = 60, Johan will be finished in 60 min.

Check It Out: Example 2 Continued

1,500 = 30m
1,500 30m _____ = ____ 30 30

m is multiplied by 30.
Divide both sides by 30 to undo multiplication.

50 = m
The time needed for the homework is 50 min. So far, the homework has taken 15 min. Because 50 15 = 35, Phil will be finished in 35 min.
