<span>The
missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell
which number is larger, you ned to see which one is missing less. For example
you have ¾ versus 4/5. Each of these fraction needs 1 to complete the whole. You
need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For ¾ we have ¼ and
for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 5 and for ¾
you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger
than ¾.</span>
she saved $3, and we know the discount is 15%, so her savings is that 15%, thus we know 15% of that purchase is 3.
let's say the full price is x, and therefore the 100%, if we know 3 is the 15%, what is x?
