FRACTIONS, DECIMALS AND PERCENTAGE
(The Application of Fraction, Decimal and Percent)
Student’s Name: ___________________________________________ Grade and Section: _____________________________
Date Received: _________________________ Date Submitted: ________________________________
I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT:
This lesson provides real-life scenario that illustrate various situations involving fractions, decimals and percent.
We shall concentrate more on how fractions and decimals as well as percent and percentages are used in real life.
II. LEARNING SKILLS FROM MELCs:
After going through the module, you are expected to:
a. Give real-life situation to illustrate fractions, decimals and percent (ABM_BM11FO-Ic-4)
b. Solve problems involving fractions, decimals and percent. (ABM_BM11FO-Id-5)
III. ACTIVITIES:
A. Let Us Review:
Let us recall the rules and steps in changing fractions, decimal and percentage to fractions, decimal and
percentage. Below is a figure summarizing the conversion of decimal, fractions and percent to decimal, fractions and
percent.
Concept 1: Changing Fractions, Decimal and Percent to Fractions, Decimal and Percentage

B. Let Us Study
We use decimals, fractions, and percent every day while dealing with money, weight, length, computing grades,
etc. They are important for understanding the financial aspects of everyday life.
Example:
• Time is commonly measured in fraction
• Checking of progress
• Prescription of medicine
• Interest Rate
• Rate of inflation
Let us try to answer this problem: After receiving her retirement pay, Mrs. Alvarado plans to put up a small
internet café in their barangay. Her total budget for the business is Php 600,000.00 and she allots Php 200,000.00
for computer units. If one computer unit costs Php 35,000.00, what part of her total budget will be actually spent for
computer units?
Solution:
We first compute the number of units Mrs. Alvarado can buy from Php 200,000.00,
200,000 40 5
= 𝑜𝑟 5
35,000 7 7
This means she can buy 5 units of computer, which cost Php 175,000.00. Thus the part of her budget to be
actually spent for computer is
175,000 7
=
600,000 24
7
Therefore, of her budget will be spent for computer units
24
