“Finding a Percent of a Number”
(7-2)
How do you find the
percent of a number?
To find the percent of a number, multiply the number by the percent in its
fraction form or decimal form or use a proportion
Example:Find 22% of 250..
Since “of” in a word problem means “multiply”, we need to multiply the
two numbers. Before you multiply, though, you need to clear the percent
sign by turning the percent into a fraction or a decimal.
Method 1: Multiply by the fraction form of the percent
22
22% =
Write the percent as a fraction.
100 5

Divide 250 and 100 by their GCD,

110
Divide 250 and 100 by their GCD,
2 = 55
Method 2: Multiply by the decimal form of the percent
22% = 0.22
Write the percent as a decimal.
0.22 • 250 = 55
Multiply.
So 22% of 250 is 55

Additional Examples
Find 88% of 250.
Method 1
Write the percent as a decimal.
88% = 0.88
Write 88% as a decimal.
0.88  250 = 220
Multiply.
Method 2
88% =
Write the percent as a fraction.

Divide 25 and 250 by their GCD, 25.
Multiply.
So, 88% of 250 is 220.

Additional Examples
Estimate a 15% tip on a restaurant bill of $17.73.
What you think
1
The bill is about $18. I know 10% of 18 is 10 of 18, or 1.8. Then
5% of 18 is half of 1.8, or 0.9. A 15% tip is about $1.80 plus $.90,
or $2.70.
Why it works
15% of 18 = 0.15 • 18
Rewrite 15% as 0.15
= (0.10 + 0.05) • 18
Rewrite 0.15 as 0.10 + 0.05
= 0.10(18) + 0.05(18)
Use the Distributive Property.
= 1.8 + 0.9
Multiply.
= 2.70
Add.
A 15% tip for a $17.73 bill is about $2.70.
