JianearnedP100 for selling junk. He gave hismother P 80 and

put P 20 in his coin bank. What percent of his earnings did he give to
his mother? What percent did he save?

Let us draw the model.

80%
There are 100 parts in al. the shaded part is 80 of 100 parts. Jian gave 80% of his earning to his
mother and saved 20% of it.

Let us study these;

The relation of percent to fraction
80 80 20 4
80% is equal to 100 or 100 ÷ 20 = 5

The relationship of fraction to decimal. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

.80
5 √ 4.00
40

Another way:
80 20 4
80% = 100 ÷ 20 = 5

The relationship of percent to decimal. To change percent to decimal move the decimal point 2
places to the left and drop the % sign.
 80% = 0.80
B. Compare the shaded part in each grid.

Study these.

1 1 25 25 1 25
4 = 4 x 25 = 100 ’ so 4 = 100 = 0.25 = 25%

2 2 20 40 2 40
5 = 5 x 20 = 100 , so 5 = 100 = 0.40 = 40%

To change from percent to fraction, change percent to fraction with a denominator of 100, and
then simplify it.
To change percent to decimal, drop the % symbol and move the decimal point 2 places to the
left.
To change decimal to percent, simply move the decimal point 2 places to the right, then
annex the symbol % to the number.
