Step-by-step explanation:
<h3><u>General outline</u></h3>- Identify the whole and the part
- Change ratio into a percentage
Percentages are formed when one finds a ratio of two related quantities, usually comparing the first partial quantity to the amount that "should" be there.
For instance, if you have a pie, and you eat half of the pie, you're in effect imagining the original pie (the whole pie) cut into two equal pieces, and you ate one of them (the "part" of a pie that you ate). To find the ratio of pie that you ate compared to the whole pie, we compare the part and the whole:
If you had instead eaten three-quarters of the pie, you're in effect imagining the original pie cut into 4 equal pieces, and you ate 3 of them.
There can be cases where the "part" is bigger than the whole. Suppose that you are baking pies and we want to find the ratio of the pies baked to the number that were needed, the number of pies you baked is the "part", and the number of pies needed is the whole. This could be thought of as the ratio of project completion.
If we need to bake 100 pies, and so far you have only baked 75, then our ratio is:
But, suppose you keep baking pies and later you have accidentally made more than the 100 total pies.... you've actually made 125 pies. Even though it's the bigger number, the number of pies you baked is still the "part" (even though it's bigger), and the number of pies needed is the whole.
To find a percentage from a ratio, there are two small steps:
- Divide the two numbers
- Multiply that result by 100 to convert to a percentage
<u>Going back to the pies:</u>
When you ate half of the pie, your ratio of pie eaten was
Dividing the two numbers, the result is
Multiplying by 100 gives 50. So, the percentage of pie that you ate (if you ate half of the pie) is 50%
When you ate three-quarters of the pie, the ratio was
Dividing the two numbers, the result is 0.75
Multiplying by 100 gives 75. So, the percentage of pie that you ate (if you ate three-quarters of the pie) is 75%.
When you were making pies, and 100 pies were needed, but so far you'd only baked 75 pies, the ratio was
Dividing the two numbers, the result is 0.75
Multiplying by 100 gives 75. So, the percentage of the project that you've completed at that point is 75%.
Later, when you had made 125 pies, but only 100 pies were needed, the ratio was
Dividing the two numbers, the result is 1.25
Multiplying by 100 gives 125%. So, the percentage of pies you've made to complete the project at that point is 125%.... the number of pies that you've made is more than what you needed, so the baking project is more than 100% complete.
<h3><u>The questions</u></h3><u>1. 27400 spectators n a 40000 seat stadium percentage.</u>
Here, it seems that the question is asking what percentage of the stadium is full, so the whole is the 40000 seats available, and the "part" is the 27400 spectators that have come to fill those seats.
Dividing gives 0.685. Multiplying by 100 gives 68.5. So, 68.5% of the seats have been filled.
<u>2. an archer scores 95 points out of a possible 125 points percentage</u>
Here, it seems that the question is asking what percentage of the points possible were earned, so the whole is the 125 points possible, and the "part" is the 95 points that were earned.
Dividing gives 0.76. Multiplying by 100 gives 76. So, 76% of points possible were earned.
