LEARNING COMPETENCY: Visualizes percent and its relationship to
fractions, ratios, and decimal numbers using models.
CODE: M5NS-IIIa-136
III. Activities
A percent is a ratio of a number to 100. The symbol % reads as
percent. There are times when the total is not 100 but we can still
express the given part in percent. We can use the cross product rule
that we use in proportions to do it.
Using the illustration at the left, the circle is divided
into four parts. It represents 25% of the whole circle. In
fraction form, it is or We can also write this in
decimal form as 0.25. In ratio, it is 25:100 or 1:4.
Another example is a 10 x 10 grid with 50 shaded parts. It is
illustrated below.
The 50 shaded parts out of 100 represents percent. We can say
that it is 50% of the whole parts. In fraction form, we write this as or
. It is 0.50 in decimal form, and 50:100 or 1:2 in ratio.
Without looking at the examples above, we can change
percent in fraction form, in decimal number, and in ratio by following
the procedures below.
To change percent to fraction, remove the percent symbol (%)
and write the number as a numerator, then the denominator 100. This is
from the definition that percent means for every hundred. Remember
to always reduce the fraction to lowest terms.
13% = 13
100
To change percent to decimal, write the percent as a fraction,
then divide the numerator by the denominator. A shorter method is to
remove the % symbol, then move two decimal places to the left.
25% = 25 = 0.25 or 25% = 0. 2 5
100
To change decimal to percent, multiply the decimal number to
100, then affix the % symbol. A shortcut would be moving the decimal
point two places to the right and affixing the % symbol.
0.16 x 100 = 16% or 0. 1 6 = 16%
To change from fraction to percent, change into decimal first by
dividing the numerator by the denominator, move the decimal point
two places to the right, then affix the % symbol.
29 = 0.29, then 0. 2 9 = 29%
