Percentages (%) (I)

Objectives: To learn the meaning of percentages;
To use % to show percentages;
To change decimals to percentages and percentages to decimals.

Percentages are, like decimals, special types of fractions with 100 as denominators.
People like to use percentages to show comparison.
Percentages (%)
-- Percent means parts per 100Percent means parts per 100

When we say "Percent", we are really saying "per 100".

So 50% means 50 per 100

(50% of this box is shaded)

And 25% means 25 per 100

(25% of this box is shaded)

Decimals, fractions and percentage are interchangeable:

25
For example, 0.25 = = 25% or 0.25 × 100% = 25%
𝟏𝟎𝟎

Objective: To learn how to convert percentages and fractions.

Change a fraction into percentage.

Method I: Expand the fraction with denominator as 100.
1 1 × 25 25
e.g. = = = 25%
4 4 × 25 100

Method II: x 100%

1 1 100 1
e.g. = × 100% = % = 33 3 %
3 3 3

Method III: numerator ÷ denominator x 100%

5
e.g. = 5 ÷ 8 × 100% = 62.5 %

Objective: To learn square and square root.

In algebra, the square of a number is the number obtained by multiplying by itself

once. For example, 25 is a square of 5 because 25 = 5 x 5.

To square a number is to multiply it by itself, and the notation for this is x2, that is,
the number written with a superscript 2.

In 1637, a French mathematician called Descartes used “√” to represent square

root.A square root of a number x is denoted as x.
