Percents
and
Percentage

Grade 11 – Business Math


What is Percent?
• “Percent" comes from the latin word Per Centum. The latin
word Centum means 100, for example a Century is 100 years.

• Dictionary says "Percentage" is the "result obtained by


multiplying a quantity by a percent". So 10 percent of 50
apples is 5 apples: the 5 apples is the percentage.

• But in practice people use both words the same way.


one percent (1%)
means 1 of 100.
50% means 50 of
100.
(50% of this box is blue)
100% means all
(100% of this box is blue)
Percent to Decimal

To change a percent to a decimal, drop the percent sign and move the
decimal point two places to the left.
EXAMPLE: Write 5% as a decimal.
SOLUTION: 5% = 0.05
•  
EXAMPLE: Write 35.7% as a decimal.
SOLUTION: 35.7% = 0.357
Decimal to Percent

To change a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right
and affix the percent sign. If the decimal is located at the end of the number, do
not write it.
 
EXAMPLE: Write 0.15 as a percent. EXAMPLE: Write 5.56 as a percent.
SOLUTION: 0.15 = 15% SOLUTION: 5.56 = 556%
   
EXAMPLE: Write 0.05 as a percent. EXAMPLE: Write 0.0789 as a percent.
SOLUTION: 0.05 = 5% SOLUTION: 0.0789 = 7.89%
Percent to Fraction

To change a percent to a fraction, write the numeral in front of the percent


sign as the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is 100. Reduce the
fraction if possible.
•  
EXAMPLE: Write 9% as a fraction.
SOLUTION:   9% = 9/100

EXAMPLE: Write 225% as a fraction.


SOLUTION: 225% = 225/100 = 2 ¼
Fraction to Percent

To convert a fraction to percent, we first convert the fraction to decimal.


 In a fraction, the fraction bar means "divided by."
 

 EXAMPLE: Write as percent

1. Convert fraction to decimal.


Fraction to Percent
 EXAMPLE: Write as percent

2. Then, decimal to percent. (To change a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point two
places to the right and affix the percent sign. If the decimal is located at the end of the number, do not
write it.)

Then, is equal to 0.625 in decimal.


0.625 in percent is 62.5% (0.625 x 100)

So, is equal to 62.5%

Finding Rate, Base and Percentage
A percent word problem has three values:
the base (B) or whole, the rate (R) or
percent, and the part (P).
What is Percentage Base and Rate?
 The base is the total or the whole or the
starting point. It serves as the basis in the
calculation of the percentage.
 The rate is just the given number in %.
 The percentage is the part of the whole
based on the given percent and base. Also
referred to as the portion.
The Formula
Denote the base as B, rate as R and percentage as P.

Finding Percentage (P)   Finding Rate (R)

P=BxR R=

  Finding Base (B)

B=
Example
Sallie was able to buy a blouse at 35% discount. If the original
price is P850, how much discount was she able to avail? How
much is the discounted price?
Unknown = Percentage
Given: Base = P850; Rate = 35% or 0.35
Formula: P = B x R
Solution: P = P850 x 0.35 = P297.50
Answer: Amount of Discount is P297.50
Discounted Price = Original Price – Discount
Discounted Price = P850 – P297.50
Answer: 552.50
Example
For being the top 2 of her batch, Patricia was offered a 25% discount on her
tuition fee for the following semester. If she only paid P51 000, how much is her
tuition fee?

Unknown = Base
Given: Percentage = P51000; Rate = 75% or 0.75
Formula: B = P ÷ R
Solution: B = 51 000 ÷ 0.75 Answer: P68 000
Example
In a recent sale, Michelle was able to buy a microwave oven for P12 500. If the
original price is P15 625, what is the rate discount.

Unknown = Rate
Given: Percentage = P12 500; Base = P15 625
Formula: R = P ÷ B
Solution: R = 12 500 ÷ 15 625 Answer: 0.80
or 80%
Let’s Try
Get white paper and a marker. Let’s us try to convert the following.
(Figure it out page 33 Ref: Business Math Book)

Base = 25 000 and Rate = 70% = 0.70


What is 70% of 25 000? P=BxR
P = 25 000 x 0.70
P = 17 500
 Base = 500 and Rate = % = 0.875% = 0.00875

 % of 500 is _________ P=BxR


P = 500 x 0.00875
P = 4.375
