Percents



Percent Problem:
Over five years, the circulation of a magazine increased from 25000 copies to 150000 copies. What percent is the new circulation of the circulation from five years ago? What is this percent as a decimal and a fraction?

For this problem, we would want to use the math information given to us:
-5 years of circulation
-25000 copies
-150000 copies

Fraction out of 1oo.

OF means the denominator of the fraction.

Now, to solve this problem, we are going to use proportion.








Fraction: 600/1oo or 1/6
Percent: 600%
Decimal: 600%/100=6
Here's a video to help you:













Here's a website I found on percents:

  1. Great post Sandra. It looks very neat and you used the colors very well. I also liked how you wrote down to study for the social studies quiz tomorrow and I hope everyone does well too. Next time make you link into a word instead of the whole URL. Other than that, great job.

  7. Nice post Sandra. I really like the picture you used to explain the how to solve the problem. I also liked the site you used, but it would be nice if you, as Glenesse said, made it so the link is a word we can just click and be redirected to the site. Also, you should make it so there isn't too many spaces between your work.

  9. GOOD JOB SANDRA! Your scribe was pretty neat and organized. I liked the way you added a picture, link, and video. As JB said, you should explain your work clearer by using WORDS and numbers. Other than that, good job and keep it up!
