marjo's Growing Post

What is a good definition of percent? You should use words symbols, pictures and numerical examples in your defintion.

How are three fifths (3/5), 3:2, 60% and o.6 all the same? Use pictures and words to show your answer. - they all equal 60%
-3 divide by 5 = 0.6 x 100 = 60%
-0.6 x 100 = 60%

= 60%

Show 3 different ways to find 35% of 80. (bubbleshare is an excellent tool to animate the many different ways of finding these answers)
1.

2.
80 divided by 100 = 0.8 or 1%
0.8 x 35 = 28
28 = 35%

3.
100% = 80, 1%=0.8, 10%=8, 5%=5
8 x 4 = 32 - 4 = 28

•Find a link to blogs that deal with percentages.
