A2 Using Fractions and Percentages A2.1 Fractions, Decimals and Percentages A percentage is a means of expressing a number as a fraction of 100: the term 'percentage' simply means 'per hundred'. Converting percentages to fractions is a simple process. Percentages can also be converted very easily to decimals, which can be useful when using a calculator. Fractions and decimals can also be converted back to percentages.

Worked Example 1 Find 20% of £84.

Solution This can be done by converting 20% to either a fraction or a decimal. Converting to a fraction

20 1 = 100 5

Note that

20% =

Therefore

20% of £84 =

1 × £84 5

= £16.80

Converting to a decimal Note that

20% = 0.2

Therefore

20% of £84 = 0.2 × £84

= £16.80

Worked Example 2 A shopkeeper decides to increase some prices by 10%. By how much would she increase the price of: (a)

a bar of soap costing 90 pence

(b)

a packet of rice costing £2.00?

Solution First note that 10% = (a)

1 . 10

1 × 90 p 10 = 9p

10% of 90 p =

So the cost of a bar of soap will be increased by 9 pence (b)

10% of £2

=

1 × £2 10

= £0.20 or 20 p

So the cost of a packet of rice is increased by 20 pence.

Worked Example 4 Natasha invests £20 000 in a building society account. At the end of the year she receives 5% interest. How much interest does she receive?

Solution 5% =

First convert 5% to a fraction.

5 1 = 100 20

5% of £20 000 =

1 × £20 000 20

= £1000 So she receives £1000 interest.

A2.3 Quantities as Percentages To answer questions such as, In a test, is it better to score 30 out of 40 or 40 out of 50? it is helpful to express the scores as percentages.

Worked Example 1 Express '30 out of 40' and '40 out of 50' as percentages. Which is the higher score?

Solution '30 out of 40' can be written as

30 40 and '40 out of 50' can be written as . 40 50

Changing these fractions to percentages,

30 30 = × 100% 40 40

and

= 75%

40 40 = × 100% 50 50 = 80%

So '40 out of 50' is the higher score, since 80% is greater than 75%.

Worked Example 2 A student scores 6 out of 10 in a test. Express this as a percentage.

Solution '6 out of 10' can be written as

6 . Changing this fraction to a percentage, 10 6 6 = × 100% = 60% 10 10

Worked Example 3 Robyn and Rachel bought a DVD for £20. Robyn paid £11 and Rachel paid £9. What percentage of the total cost did each girl pay?

Solution Robyn paid £11 out of £20, which is 11 11 = × 100% = 55% 20 20

Rachel paid £9 out of £20, which is 9 9 = × 100% = 45% 20 20 © CIMT, Plymouth University

Worked Example 2 3 2 + = ? 4 5

Solution As these fractions have different denominators, it is necessary to find the lowest common multiple of the denominator, that is, the smallest number into which both denominators will divide exactly (we sometimes refer to this as the lowest common denominator).

Division To understand how to divide with fractions, first consider how multiplication and division are related. Take as an example, 3 × 4 = 12

Then it is also true that 12 ÷ 4 = 3

We say that ' × 4 ' and ' ÷ 4 ' are inverse (reversed or opposite) operations. Note that 12 ×

so ÷ 4 is the same as ×

1 = 3 4

1 . 4

1 is the same as × 2 , 2 1 6÷ = 12 2 and, alternatively, 6 × 2 = 12 .

Similarly, because ÷

So ÷

(check: 12 ×

1 = 6) 2

1 is the same as × 2 . 2

You can generalise these examples to give 1 a

÷a

is the same as

×

1 b

is the same as

×b

÷

and combining the two results gives

÷

a b
