Title: Getting sick of powerpoints yet
1Getting sick of powerpoints yet?
2Now it is time for calculators
- If you havent got one it may get difficult
3Writing a fraction as a percentage
- We saw that 7 35 35
- 20 100
- With more difficult fractions this is not so
simple eg. 23 - 35
4 23 as a percentage 35
- Write the fraction as a decimal
- 23 35 0.657142857..
- 35
- Multiply by 100
- 0.657142857 x 100 65.7 (to 1 d.p.)
5 18 as a percentage 70
- 18 18 70 0.2571.
- 70
- 0.2571 x 100 25.7 (to 1 d.p.)
6Now for finding a percentage of an amount
7Two slightly different approaches
8Method 1
- Find 1 by dividing by 100
- Multiply this by the percentage you want to find
- Find 32 of 450
- 1 of 450 4.5
- (450100)
- 32 of 450
- 32 x 4.5 144
9Try this one 27 of 46
- 1 of 46 46 100
- 0.46
- 27 of 46 27 x 0.46
- 12.42
10Method 2
- Change the percentage you want to find into a
decimal - Multiply your amount and decimal percentage
together
- Find 62 of 93
- 62 0.62
- 62 of 93 0.62 x 93
- 57.66
11Try this one 87 of 58
- 87 0.87
- 87 of 58 0.87 x 58
- 50.46
12The second method is important for questions
involving compound interest
13Compound interest is paid at regular intervals
(usually yearly)
- You earn interest on your total amount (original
amount plus any interest you have already
received)
14Need to write the percentage as a decimal
- If you are paid 8 interest, you will end up with
108 of your starting amount. - 108 as a decimal is 1.08
- Instead of finding 8 and adding it on, you can
find 108 by multiplying by 1.08
15The value of a 52000 house goes up 4 - find the
new value
- House is now worth 104 of what it was originally
- 104 1.04 (104 100)
- New value 52000 x 1.04
- 54080
16A teacher gets a 2.5 pay rise. If he was paid
18500 originally, what is his new salary?
- Salary is now 102.5 of what it started at
- 102.5 1.025 (102.5 100)
- New salary 18500 x 1.025
- 18962.50
17We can use these multipliers when a value
decreases too.
18The value of a car falls 14 from its value of
9800. Find the new value
- Car is now worth 86 (100 14) of its original
value. - 86 0.86 (86 100)
- New value 9800 x 0.86
- 8428
19Find the multipliers which correspond to these
percentage increases/decreases
- 8 decrease 0.92
- 7 increase
1.07 - 14 increase 1.14
- 36 decrease
0.64 - 17.5 increase 1.175
- 3.5 decrease
0.965
20Compound interest for yearly savings
- n number of
years -
- Savings original savings x (percentage)
- percentage must be written as multiplier
- eg. 6 interest 1.06
n
21If you put 500 in a bank for 4 years and were
paid 3 interest per year how much would you
have?
n
- Savings original savings x (percentage)
- Percentage 3 so multiplier 1.03
- No. of years, n 4
- Savings 500 x 1.03
- 562.75
4
22If you put 100 in a bank for 24 years and were
paid 4 interest per year how much would you
have?
n
- Savings original savings x (percentage)
- Percentage 4 so multiplier 1.04
- No. of years, n 24
- Savings 100 x 1.04
- 256.33
24
23Also works for decreases
24A car loses 12 of its value each year. What is
it worth after 7 years if it cost 12000 when new?
- 12 decrease 0.88
- Value 12000 x 0.88
- 4904.11
7
25Percentage Increase
26Really easy..
- increase (decrease)
-
- increase (decrease) x
100 - original value
27A house was bought for 46000 and is now worth
82000. Find the percentage increase in the value
of the house.
- Increase 82000 46000 36000
- Percentage 36000 x 100
- increase 46000
- 78.2
