1. Percent Decrease

2.  TODAY’S STANDARD: TODAY’S STANDARD:  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.3 Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.RP.A.3  Your goal is to demonstrate your mastery of this topic by solving at least 3 out of 4 (75%) of percent decrease problems correctly on the exit ticket at the end of the period.

3. Percent Decrease  This topic builds on the converting percents to decimals and finding the percent of a number lessons that we did last week.  You will need to be able to calculate percent decreases in order to do well in an upcoming unit on shapes because their sides and area often get decreased by a percentage.  In future math classes, you will examine data and use percent decrease to draw conclusions, such as with slope on a graph.

4.  What are we learning about today?  How will you prove that you understand this topic?

6.  Real-life situations involve percent decreases include coupons and sales.  You must be saving a percentage, not a set amount. A flat $5 off would not be a percent decrease but 15% off would.

8.  To find the savings/decrease only, just find the percent of the number.  To find the sale/discounted/final price, find the percent of the number and subtract it from the original number.

10.  Example: 10% sale on a $6.80 item  The amount of the savings is 10% of $6.80 10% = 0.10 = 0.1 6.80 × 0.1 $0.680 = $0.68  The final cost is the original cost - savings $6.80 - $0.68 $6.12

15. Independent Station  The Independent Station instructions are a little bit more complicated than normal today, so make sure you pay close attention.  I will be calling on random students using the equity cards to repeat the directions.
