Step 1. When you convert from a fraction or decimal,
be sure your answer is in percent before rounding.
Step 2. Identify the specific digit. If the digit to the
right of the identified digit is 5 or greater, round the
identified digit.
Delete digits to the right of the identified digit.

Converting Fractional Percents to Decimals
.0025 .0775
7 %
Step 1. Convert a single fraction percent to its decimal
equivalent by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
Step 2. If a fractional percent is combined with a whole
number ( mixed fractional percent) convert the fractional
percent first. Then combine the whole number and the
fractional percent.
Step 3. Drop the percent symbol; move the decimal point
two places to the left (this divides the number by 100).

Application of Percents - Portion Formula
Portion (P) = Base (B) x Rate (R)
Portion “is”
Base “of” Rate “%”
Base: 100% - whole. Usually given after the
word of – but not always
$100 – Bonus check
Rate: Usually expressed as a percent but could
also be a decimal or fraction.
20% taxes
Portion: A number – not a percent and not the
whole
$20 taxes
Assume you received a small bonus check of $100 and your company did not
withhold any taxes. Compute taxes assuming a 20% in tax rate.

Solving for Portion
Sales of Milk Chocolate M&M’s® are 80% of
total M&M’s® sales. Total M&M’s® sales are
$400,000. What are the sales of Milk Chocolate
M&M’s®?
Portion (P)= Base (B) x Rate (R)
P = $400,000 x .80
P = $320,000

Solving for Rate
Sales of Milk Chocolate M&M’s® are 320,000.
Total M&M’s® sales are $400,000. What is the
percent of Milk Chocolate M&M’s® sales
compared to total M&M’s® sales?
Rate = Portion Base
R = $320, 000 $400,000
R = 80%

Solving for Base
Sales of Peanut and other M&M’s® chocolate
candies are 20% of total M&M’s® sales. Sales of
Milk Chocolate M&M’s® sales are $320,000.
What are the total sales of all M&M’s®?
Base = Portion Rate
B = $320,000 .80
B = $400,000
320,000 is 80% of
base (1.00 - .20)

Calculating Percent Decreases and Increases
Step 1. Find the difference between
amounts (such as advertising costs).
Step 2. Divide step 1 by the original
amount (the base): R = P / B. Be sure to
express your answer in percent.

Rate = .15 or
15% Increase
Sheila Leary went to her local supermarket and bought the bag of
M&M’s® shown in Figure 6.1. The bag gave its weight as 18.40
ounces, which was 15% more than a regular 1-pound bag of
M&M’s®. Sheila, who is a careful shopper, wanted to check and see
if she was actually getting a 15% increase.
