Hwk: Pg. 226: #3. Let x represent Jamal`s score. Fayth`s score: x+200 Jamal`s score + Fayth`s score = 2250 𝑋 + 𝑥 + 200 = 2250 2𝑥 + 200 = 2250 2𝑥 = 2050 2𝑥 2 = 2050 2 𝑋 = 1025 Jamal earned 1025 points and Fayth earned 1225 points Let x represent Natalie`s goals Chantal`s goals 𝑋 + 8 ← Samara`s goals 2𝑥 ← X+x+8+2x=52 4x+8=52 4x=52-8 4x=44 X=11 Chantal`s=x+8 =11+8 =19 Samara`s =2x = 2 ×11
=22 Natalie scored 11 goals, Chantal`s scored 19 goals and Samara scored22 goals Applications of Percent The word "percent" means per hundred Example 1 : a) Calculate 16% of 85 16% of 85 = 0. 16 ×85 =13.6 b) 18% of what number is 50? Let x represent a number 18% of x =50 0. 18𝑥 = 50 0.18𝑥 0.18 = 50 0.18 𝑋 = 277. 78 c) What percent of 65 is 0.13? 𝑥(65) = 0. 13 65𝑥 = 0. 13
65𝑥 65 = 0.13 65 𝑋 = 0. 002 𝑋 = 0. 2% Example 2 : The price of an 8 GB iPod touch is $111.99 after a 44% discou nt. What was the original price of the iPod touch? Solution: 100%-44%=56% So, the iPod touch is worth 56% of the original price. Let x rep. theoriginal price of the iPod touch, they 56% of x = 111.99 0.56x=111.99 0.56𝑥 0.56 = 111.99 0.56 x =199.98 The original price of the iPod touch was $199.98. Example 3 : A fertilizer contains nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in th e ratio 35:20:14 by mass. This means that 35% is nitrogen, 20% is phosphorus, and 14% potassium. Calculate the mass of each element in a 10 ‐ kg bag of fertilizer. Solution: 35%+20%+14%=69% So, 69% of the bag is nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. 69% of 10= 0. 69 ×10
=6.9 So, 6.9 kg of the bag is nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. (3.1 kg is a fill) OR 35% of 10 = 0. 35 × 10 =3.5 20% of 10 = 0. 20 × 10 =2 14% of 10 = 0. 14 × 10 =1.4 35% 69 % ×6. 9 = 3. 5 20%69% ×6. 9 = 2 14 %69 % ×6. 9 = 1. 4 The bag contains 3.5 kg of nitrogen, 2 kg of phosphorus and 1.4 kg ofpotassium Example 4 : Based on current cancer rates, 19 out of 50 Canadian women will develop cancer during their lifetime and 43 out of 100 Canadian men will develop cancer during their lifetime.Predict how many women out of 700 are likely to develop cancer. Solution: Percent of women = 19/50 =38/100 =38%
So, 38% of Canadian women will cancer 38% of 700 = 0. 38×700 =266 266 Canadian women are likely to develop cancer Example 5 : Seven out ten people prefer coffee over tea. How many woul d prefer coffee over tea in a group of 130 people? Solution: 7 10 = 70 100 =70% So, 70% of people prefer coffee over tea 70% of 130 = 0. 70 × 130 =91 91 people out of 130 people prefer coffee over tea
