Question

3. Use the benchmark percents to determine each value

if 600 is 100%.
a. 50%
b. 25%
C. 10%
d. 5%
e. 1%

Answer 1

a = 300

b = 150

c = 60

d = 30

e = 6

To find the answer:

One way is to put the percents into fractions simplest form and divide by 600.

So:

a = 1/2

b= 1/4

c = 1/10

d = 1/20

e = 1/100

Divide these by 600, you get the same answers.

The Advanced Way:

To find a percent, you (can) turn the percents into fractions and multiply the number from the fraction.

For example: Question A:

600 x 1/2 = 300

You get the same answers as the ordinary version too. From right above Advanced.

Have a great evening, good luck on your homework.
