Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Definition

A percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

Description

Percentages are a fundamental concept in mathematics, representing a ratio out of 100. They are used in various applications, including finance, statistics, and everyday calculations such as discounts and interest rates.

For example, if you score 45 out of 50 on a test, your percentage score is 

(45/50) × 100 = 90%

Topic

Definition

Percent decrease measures the reduction in value expressed as a percentage of the original value.

Description

Percent decrease is used to quantify the reduction in value over time, expressed as a percentage of the original value. It is commonly used in finance, economics, and everyday scenarios such as price reductions and weight loss.

For example, if the price of a jacket drops from $80 to $60, the percent decrease is calculated as 

(80 − 60)/80 × 100 = 25%.

Percent increase measures the growth in value expressed as a percentage of the original value.

Description

Percent increase is used to quantify the growth in value over time, expressed as a percentage of the original value. It is commonly used in finance, economics, and everyday scenarios such as salary increases and population growth.

For example, if the price of a stock rises from \$50 to \$75, the percent increase is calculated as 

(75 − 50)/50 × 100 = 50%

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Definition

Percent of a number involves calculating the amount represented by a certain percentage of that number.

Description

Understanding percentages is crucial for working with finances, statistics, and data analysis. For instance, to find 20% of 50, multiply 50 by 0.20, resulting in 10. Likewise, it's important for everyday scenarios, such as calculating discounts during shopping.

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Definition

Percent of an unknown refers to solving for an unknown quantity when given a percentage of that quantity.

Description

Knowing how to find a percentage of an unknown variable is essential for solving equations in algebra. This concept appears in various situations, such as when determining discounts or portions of a total amount.

For instance, if 20% of an unknown number equals 15, you can set up the equation: 

0.20x = 15

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Definition

Percents as decimals involve converting a percentage into its decimal representation.

Description

Converting percents to decimals is a key skill in mathematics, allowing students to perform calculations involving percentages more easily. To convert, divide the percent by 100.

For example, 75% as a decimal is 0.75, calculated by dividing 75 by 100. This conversion is useful in many contexts, such as finance, where calculations are conducted using decimal values. Mastering this concept enables students to approach real-world problems with greater confidence and accuracy.

Definition

The percent one number is of another is a way to express one number as a percentage of another number.

Description

Understanding how to express one number as a percentage of another is crucial in various real-world applications, such as calculating discounts, tax, and interest rates. For example, if you want to find out what percentage 25 is of 200, you divide 25 by 200 and multiply by 100, resulting in 12.5%.

Topic

Ratios, Proportions, and Percents

Definition

Visual models for percents are diagrams or illustrations that represent percentages to help visualize and understand them.

Description

Visual models for percents are useful tools in various fields, such as education, finance, and statistics, to represent data and make it more comprehensible. For example, pie charts and bar graphs are common visual models that help illustrate percentages and proportions effectively.
