PERCENT APPLICATIONS
Percents are useful in solving everyday math problems. Percent problems can be grouped into three types: finding percent, finding part, and finding base. A tool that can be very helpful in solving percent problems is the “percent box”. First we’ll look at the percent box and how it is used to solve “finding percent” problems
When given the percent and the whole, we can find the “part”. We’ll look at the percent box and how it is used to solve “finding part” for percent problems.
When given the percent and the part, we can find the “whole”. Using the percent box we can solve “finding whole” for percent problems.
