Putting It All in Perspective

In your opinion, what does each famous quotation or saying really mean?

2. “Success is 99 percent failure.”-Soichiro Honda

3. “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.”-Wayne Gretzky

Ordering Fractions,

Decimals, and Percents

ACTIVIT Y

2.1

Each student has been given a note card that contains a number expressed as a fraction, decimal, or percent.

As a class, order the set of numbers from least to greatest.

1. Explain the strategies used by your class to order the numbers.

Noah and Dylan were assigned the numbers 0.0 ̄ 6 and 0.1% but they disagreed on which was larger. Noah says that 0.0 ̄ 6 is less than 0.1, so 0.0 ̄ 6 is less than 0.1%. Dylan says that since 0.1% is the same as as 0.001 and 0.001 is less than 0.0 ̄ 6 , 0.1% is less than 0.0 ̄ 6 .

2. Who is correct? Explain your reasoning.

3. Order the numbers from least to greatest.

0.99, 1 __ 9 , 17 ___ 20 , 95%, 25%, 3 __ 8 , 70%, 4.3%, 0.81, 0.64

Think about all of

the different ways to

express your number.



Estimating Percents from

Pictures

ACTIVIT Y

2.2

You know that 100% means one, or the whole, and 50% means half. You can estimate a lot of percents when using a visual model.

A laptop computer uses an icon of a battery on the toolbar to show how much power is left in the battery. When you glance at the icon, you can get a good estimate of how much battery life remains before you need to recharge the battery.

1. Estimate how much battery power remains by writing the percent under each battery icon.

a. b. c.

d. e. f.

2. Estimate the shaded part of each circle shown, and write it as a percent.

a. b. c.

Are your estimates the same as your partner's?



d. e. f.

3. Estimate the shaded part of each model, and write it as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent. Write the fraction in lowest terms.

a. b.

c. d.

e. f.

4. Describe the strategies that you used to make your estimations.

Can I determine the percent shown if the shading isn't all together and the parts are not all the same size?


Benchmark PercentsACTIVIT Y

2.3

A benchmark percent is a percent that is commonly used, such as 1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100%. With fractions and decimals, benchmarks can be used to make estimations. With percents, however, you can use benchmarks to calculate any whole percent of a number.

100%

50% 50%

25% 25% 25% 25%

20% 20% 20% 20% 20%

10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10% 10%

1. Use the tape diagram to state each relationship.

a. How is 50% related to 100%?

b. How is 25% related to 100%? How is 25% related to 50%?

c. How is 10% related to 100%? How is 10% related to 50%?

Remember, you worked with the benchmark fractions of 0, 1 __ 2 , and 1.



Remember that

1% = 0.01.

2. Continue the pattern from the tape diagram to state each relationship.

a. How is 5% related to 10%?

b. How is 1% related to 10%? How is 1% related to 5%?

3. Use the benchmark percents to determine each value if 600 is 100%.

a. 50% b. 25%

c. 10% d. 5% e. 1%



4. Use your calculator to determine the percent of each number.

a. 1% of 28 5 b. 10% of 28 5

c. 1% of 234 5 d. 10% of 234 5

e. 1% of 0.85 5 f. 10% of 0.85 5

g. 1% of 5.86 5 h. 10% of 5.86 5

5. What patterns do you notice in your answers in Question 4?

6. Write a rule to calculate 1% of any number.

7. Write a rule to calculate 10% of any number.

8. Use the patterns you recognized in Question 4 to calculate each value.

a. 10% of 45.21 b. 1% of 45.21

c. 10% of 0.72 d. 1% of 0.72

Deciding how much tip to leave a server at a restaurant is one way that percents are used in the real world.

3. What is 15% of each restaurant check total given? Explain how you calculated your answer. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

a. $24.00 b. $32.56 c. $47.00

You can determine any whole percent of a number by using 10%, 5%, and 1%.

4. How can you use 10%, 5%, and/or 1% to determine each percent given? Explain your reasoning.

a. 18% b. 25% c. 37%

Akuro eats at the Eat and Talk Restaurant and decides to leave a 15% tip. Akuro says, “I can easily calculate 10% of any number, and then calculate half of that, which is equal to 5%. I can then add those two percent values together to get a sum of 15%.”

1. Is Akuro’s method reasonable?

2. How much should he leave for a tip of 15% on $16.00?



5. Calculate each value using 1%, 5%, and 10%.

a. 27% of 84 b. 43% of 116

c. 98% of 389 d. 77% of 1400

e. 12% of 1248

6. About 12% of the United States population is left-handed. Use this estimate to determine about how many left-handed students there would be for each class of the given size.

a. 150 students

b. 200 students

c. 375 students

So, if 12 percent of the U.S. population is left-handed,what percent of the population is right-handed or "both"-handed?

Brain Weights

A chimpanzee’s brain weight can be compared to the brain weight of other mammals. Assume that the weight of an average chimpanzee’s brain is 400 grams. The table provides the average brain weight of various mammals as a percent of a chimp’s brain weight.

1. Order from least to greatest the brain weights of the mammals in the table, along with the chimpanzee, based on percents.

2. Use benchmarks to determine the average brain weights for each animal. Show all of your work.

3. Does the order of the percents match the order of the brain weights? Why or why not?

Assignment

PracticeThe students at Penncrest Middle School sold various products for a fall fundraiser. The table shows the

percent of profi t the school earned and the total amount sold for each type of product.

Product Percent Profi t Amount Sold

Candy 65% $6400

Wrapping paper 40% $1200

Stationery 50% $900

Calendars 25% $3120

1. Use benchmark percents to calculate the amount of profi t the school earned on the sale of each product.

a. Candy

b. Wrapping paper

c. Stationary

d. Calendars

2. Suppose that the students also sold $4500 worth of pens and pencils, which earned a 42% profi t.

Calculate the profi t the school earned on pens and pencils.


WriteExplain how to use benchmark

percents to order and estimate

the value of other percents.

RememberBenchmarks percents—1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100%—can

be used to perform mental estimation and calculation of percents.

Values of benchmark percents can be added and subtracted to

calculate the value of other percents.
