Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Use Rate Of 100 To Find Percent. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Ratios are expressed as “for each” and “per”

Percent means per 100. Percent is a ratio of part compared to 100.

The value of a ratio may be expressed as a decimal, percent, fraction, or mixed number.

To find the percent of a number multiply that number by p/100 where p is the percent (what is 25% of 50? 25/100 x 50 = 12.5).

Solve for the whole given a part and the percent by cross multiplying and dividing. (45 is 90% of what number? 45/90 = x/100, 45 x 100 = 90x, 4500/90 = 50)

Solve for the part given a whole and the percent by cross multiplying and dividing. (60% is what number of 30?)

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What do percents represent? How do we find the whole number when given the percent? When we represent a percent as a fraction, what is the denominator? What is cross-multiplication used for? How would you use it to solve the following problem: 2 is 10% of what number?

After the Game

If a wheel of cheese is divided into 5 wedges, and we take out 2 wedges, what percent is LEFT? How did the game help you to solve percent problems? What might an equation representing finding the whole number when given the percent look like? What keywords do we look for in a percent problem so we know how to set it up? What operation do we do if the problem asks for the % of a certain number? How do we change a percent to a decimal?
