PERCENTS: FINDING PERCENT AND PART
SOLVING PROBLEMS USING PERCENT
Percents are useful in solving everyday math problems. One type of percent problem is “finding percent” where a proportion may be used to express the fraction as a percent.
A tool that can be very helpful in solving percent problems is the “percent box”. The percent box may be used to help set up a proportion for “finding percent”.
The percent box may also be used to solve a second type of percent problem called “finding the part” which is finding a percent of a number.
Learning to solve percent problems will be very useful in every day math applications.
