Working with PercentsPercent means “out of 100.”1% is the same as 1 hundredth, or 1

100, or 0.01.

32% is the same as 32 hundredths, or 32100, or 0.32.

32.5% is between 32% and 33%. So, it is between 0.32 and 0.33.

Using the Pythagorean TheoremThe Pythagorean theorem can be used for right triangles.

Pythagorean theorem: Suppose you drew a square on each side of a right triangle. You could exactly cover the square on the longest side by combining the areas of the squares on the two shorter sides.

Suppose you knew the lengths of two sides of a right triangle. You could use this formula to calculate the length of the third side.

4. Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the unknown side length. Label each length on the diagram, to one decimal place.

The square root of a number is the side length of a square whose area is the number. For example: !9 5 3 because a square with an area of 9 square units has sides that are 3 units long (3 3 3 5 9).

Using Equivalent RatiosA ratio compares two numbers. For example, 5 to 26, or 5 : 26, is the ratio of vowels to total letters in the alphabet.

Equivalent ratios describe the same relationship. Suppose that you wrote the alphabet twice. The ratio of vowels to total letters would be 10 : 52. The two ratios, 5 : 26 and 10 : 52, are equivalent ratios.

1. Farida shares an apartment with a roommate. This chart shows the bills that she pays each month.

a) How much does Farida pay for her cellphone plus the Internet?

b) What are Farida’s total monthly expenses?

c) Farida earns $2500.00 per month. How much money is left after she pays her monthly expenses?

d) How could Farida use the money she has left after expenses? Estimate the cost for each item. Include an amount for monthly saving.

If there are no cents, write zeros after the decimal point. This keeps the numbers in line.

Plotting Patterns on a Coordinate GridAn ordered pair is a pair of numbers that describes a point on a coordinate grid. An example is (3, 22).

• The fi rst number describes the distance along the horizontal axis, or x-axis.

• The second number describes the distance along the vertical axis, or y-axis.

You can plot points on a coordinate grid to show a number pattern.

• If the pattern increases or decreases by the same amount each time, the points form a straight line.

• A pattern that makes a straight line is called a linear pattern.

4. Plot each pattern on the coordinate grid below. Join the points to form a line. Use a different colour for each pattern.
