Vocabulary… Percent – A number that is expressed out of a total of 100. PERCENT “for every…100”
Percent Proportions Situation: What percent is 2 out of a total of 5? Part Total What is this question asking us to find?…The Percent (100) 2 is 40% of 5. When setting up your tables today think of the relationships in terms of parts and totals. PartsTotals 25 x100 Table: Proportion and Solution Process: Solution:

Group Practice As you work today look for clues: “of” will typically indicate a total “is” usually indicates a part A “%” symbol of course indicates a percent. Analyze the question carefully before starting…identify the part, total and percent before starting to solve. Set up a proportion and then use your equation solving skills to find your solution. Try to simplify the ratios in your proportional equations if possible. Write your solution in the form of a sentence.
