Word Problems: Finding Percentages
Percentage is the part of the base or the whole determined by the rate. To find the percentage, we need to multiply the base and the rate.
percentage = base × rate
Rate is the ratio of the percentage to the base. It is the number written with the percent sign (%).
Base is the 100% or original amount or the whole.
Let us now analyze the given problems above.
1) The problem is asking for the number of families that belong to the poor sector.
Given:
(base) 150
(rate) 60%
Equation:
Percentage = 150 × 0.6
*Remember to change the rate to decimal.
Solution:
Percentage = 150 × 0.6
= 90
Final Answer:
90 families belong to the poor sector.
2) The problem is asking for the new amount that Lola Remedios has to pay if the store granted her 20% Senior Citizen's discounts? To do that, find the percentage and subtract it from the original price.
Given:
(base) P2,500.00
(rate) 20%
Equation:
Percentage = P2,500.00 × 0.2
*Remember to change the rate to decimal.
Solution:
Percentage = P2,500.00 × 0.2
= P500
P2,500.00 - P500.00 = P2,000.00
Final Answer:
The new amount is P2,000.00.
3) The problem is asking for the number of sits that can be accommodated by the passengers.
Given:
(base) 60
(rate) 50%
Equation:
Percentage = 60 × 0.5
*Remember to change the rate to decimal.
Solution:
Percentage = 60 × 0.5
= 30
Final Answer:
30 sits can be accommodated by the passengers.
