Percentage and its Applications

A percentage is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100. Percentages are used to compare

proportions and find parts of a whole.

### Key Concepts:

- A percentage is written as a fraction of 100. For example, 25% = 25/100 = 0.25.

- To find the percentage of a number, multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100.

- To convert a fraction or decimal to a percentage, multiply it by 100.

### Solved Examples:

1. Find 20% of 150:

20% of 150 = (20/100) × 150 = 30

2. Convert 0.75 to a percentage:

0.75 × 100 = 75%

3. What is 50% of 80?

50% of 80 = (50/100) × 80 = 40

4. Convert 3/4 to a percentage:

(3/4) × 100 = 75%

5. If a dress costs $200 and is on sale for 20% off, how much will you pay?

20% of $200 = (20/100) × 200 = $40 discount. The final price is $200 - $40 = $160.

### Real-World Applications:


- Percentages are commonly used in shopping for discounts and sales. For example, a 25%

discount on a product.

- In finance, percentages are used to calculate interest rates on loans, savings, and investments.

- In statistics, percentages are used to represent data, such as survey results or population

statistics.
