Solving Problems involving

Fractions, Decimals and


Percent
by: Rosa P. Garello
LESSON OBJECTIVES:
• To identify base, rate and percentage
• To solve problems involving
fractions, decimals and percent using
P=BxR
ACTIVITY: CHANGE ME
• Pick a strip of paper inside the box and
try to change it using the prescribed
conversion. Explain how did you get the
correct answer.
Cite practical examples involving fractions/decimals/percent
that you have already encountered
Some examples are:
• computation of costs
• sales discounts
• interest rates (simple/compound interest rates)
• comparing costs of different brands of the same product given in different measures
• cooking a recipe for a different number of its usual servings (suppose you want to have
15 servings using a recipe that is only good for 5 servings)
• conversion peso to dollars or other foreign currency
EXAMPLES:

• If you were ask to buy kilos of pork which


•  

costs P 275 per kilo, how much should you


pay and how much will your change be if
you pay a 1000 peso bill?
•If a shirt’s original price is
P1000 and there’s a 20%
discount, how much is the
discount?
• Use the percentage formula to find the
unknown value when two values are known.

P=RxB
Identify the rate, base and percentage in
percentage problems:
• In the formula P = R x B:
• “B” refers to the base which is the original number or one
entire quantity.
• “P” refers to percentage and represents a portion of the
base.
• “R” refers to rate and is a percent that tells us how the base
and percentage are related.
Find the percentage:
1. What are you looking for?
How much is the discount?
2. What do you know?
The base is 1000 (rate); and the rate is 20% or 0.20.

3. Solution plan
P = 1000 x 0.20
4. Solve
P = 200
5. Conclude
The discount is P200.00
Try these problem:

• What is 23% of P365?


• If I have P25.00 which represents ¼ of my
entire money, how much money do I have in
all?
• P125 is 15% of what amount?
Try these problem:

• The quality control team inspected a total output


of 2350 finished products and rejected for
recycling 248 defective finished products. What
percent was the rejected finished products?
• P85 is what percent of P2850?
GROUP ACTIVIY:

• The class will be divided into 6 groups.


Each group will be given a worksheet for
them to work on. It is good for 10 minutes.
Each group will be rated using this rubrics:
3 2 1
