Leea's Percent Video

PERCENT

In this unit in math we have learned about percent. The meaning of percent is out of a 100 and percents are always out of 100. We also learned about representing percent, percents of a number, combining percents, factions, decimals, and percents. In this video I will be solving percent problems that we learned about in this unit.

Julibella's Percent Review Video

Percent mean out of 100. A fractional percent is a percent that includes a portion of a percent, like 1/2%, 0.42%, 7 3/4%, or 4.5%. Percents can be written as fractions and as decimals. You can use mental math strategies such as halving, doubling, and dividing by ten to find the percents of some numbers. To calculate the percent of a number, write the percent as a decimal and then multiply by the number. Percents can be combined by adding to solve problems, like 5%+7%=12%.

Paulo's Percent Review Video

A percent means out of 100 and it also another name for hundreths
Ex. 75% means 75/100, 75 out of 100, or 0.75

4.1 Representing Percents
Representing percents means showing a percent as a picture in a hundred grid
Ex. 25% on a hundred grid, 25 squares of the grid would be shaded so its 25%

4.2 Fractions, Decimals, and Percents.
- Fractions, Decimals, and Percents can be used to represent numbers in various situations
- Percents can be written as a fraction and as decimal
Ex. 1/2% = 50%, 0.5% = 0.5/1000 = 0.005, 150% = 150/100 = 1.5, 42 3/4 = 42.75% = 42.75/100 = 0.4275

4.3 Percent of a number
- You can use mental math strategies such as halving, doubling, and dividing by ten to find the percent of same numbers
- To calculate the percent of a number, write the percent as a decimal then multiply by the numbers
Ex. 12 1/2% of 50, 0.125 x 50 = 6.25 (12 1/2% = 12.5% = 0.125)

4.4 Combining Percents
- Percent can be combined by adding to solve problems ; 5% + 7% = 12%
To calculate the increase in a number you can add the combined percent amount to the original number.
Ex. 12% of 100 = 0.12 x 100 = 12, 100 + 12 = 112
- You can multiply the original number by a single percent greater than 100
Ex. 112% of 100 = 1.12 x 100 = 112
- Percents of percents can be used to determine amounts that result from consecutive percent increases or decrease

Understanding Percents


* percents are cool and paulo is cool too :)

Percent is used as a way to express a number out of 100, and can also be written as a decimal or a fraction. Percents are essential to learn, for it is used in every day life. Like, shopping, and business.

Suzie's Percent Review Video

Percent means out of 100. It is another name for hundredths. eg. 65%= 65 out of 100, 65/100 or 0.65. A Fractional Percent is a percent that includes a portion of a percent. eg. 7 3/8 or 4.5%. Fractions, decimals and percents can be used to represent numbers in many different situations. Percents can also be combined by adding to solve problems.

This is my percent video. I'm sorry that I got the answer for the first question wrong. I put ten percent as 1.009 instead of 1.099. My mistake.

Percent
In this unit we learned about percents. Percent means out of 100 s0 percents are always out of 100. We learned how to represent percents using 100 grids, you can convert percents into decimals or fractions, you can find a percent of a number, and you can combine percents to find things like the total cost of an item including tax.

4.1 Representing Percents

In this unit we learned how to represent percents using hundred grids. For example, if you have 30% you can represent this by shading in thirty squares in the hundred grid. Or if you have 250% your can represent this by shading in 2 hundred grids and fifty squares in another hundred grid. If you want to represent 0.25% or 1/4% you shade in part of one square and then have an arrow pointing to a square representing 1/4.



4.2 Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

We also learned how to represent percents by using decimals or fractions. We learned how to convert fractions into decimals and percents(EX: 1/4=0.25 or 25%) we learned how to convert decimals into percents and fractions (EX: 0.25x100=25% 1/4) and also converting percents into decimals and fractions.

4.3 Percent of a number

We learned how to find a percent of a number using mainly ratio tables. Another way to find a percent of a number is by turning the percent into a decimal by dividing it by 100 and then multiplying it by the number. For example: 65% of 250 0.65x250=162.5.


4.4 Combining Percents

We can combine percents when solving problems, such as finding the added tax to the cost of an item. It can be also used for finding discounts on prices. For example: GST + PST=12% tax, original price is $40 so $40x1.12=$44.80.

I hope you enjoyed the video I made about percents!

Percents are used in everyday life! It may not be essential as you think, but what if we didn't have taxes in our daily purchases then the businesses will become bankrupt. All your favorite brands like Ben & Jerry Ice Cream or Roxy!

Percents means out of 100 and is also another name for hundredths. Percents can be represented by a picture, decimal, and/or fraction. Percents could also be combined with other percents.
