Percentage, Ratio, and Proportion

CD3 M75 - August 26, 2017



LESSON 1

Solving Percentage Problems



The 3 general formulas below are used to solve percentage problems




P = B x r

B = P/r

r = P/B x 100%




where :


P is the percentage

B is the base

r is the rate


  • In a 5-6 scheme, there is a 20% interest for the money borrowed

  • Simple interest is computed on the basis of this equation:


I = Prt


where:


Principal (P) is the money deposited or loaned

Rate (r) is the interest rate expressed in decimal form

Time (t) is the duration of the deposit or loan, expressed in years

LESSON 2

Ratio and Proportion Problems



  • You can use ratio and proportion to convert from one currency to another


  • The ratio of the height of an object to the length its shadow is proportional to the ratio of the height of another object to the length of its shadow, so long as the length of the shadows are measured at the same time of the day


  • Triangles with the same interior angles (the 3 angles inside the triangle) are proportional to each other even though their sizes may be difficult
