1.1 Concept & Meaning


 Percentage is the value when taken out of 100

Here there are total 100 small squares out of which 61 are
shaded brown.
The frac on represen ng the part of brown squares is
The percentage represen ng the same is 61%
Prac ce Yourself:

1.2 Relationship between Fraction/ Decimal and


Percentages
If the quan ty that you have is not out of 100, then you
may convert it in to out of 100 to find the percentage.
For example you have the number 4 out of 5.

This quan ty 4 out of 5 is not represen ng the


percentage. To get to know the percentage, get the
denominator to be 100. To do it you have two ways.
Method 1: We know that if we mul ply the denominator
5 by 20, we will get 100, so we will have to mul ply the
same 20 in the numerator.

This means that the quan ty is equal to 80%.


 Check your Understanding.
1. Write the percentage value equal to the given frac onal
values.
a) b)
 The above method is not compactable at all situa ons
because you may not find a suitable mul ple to make the
denominator 100.
Method 2:
Convert the frac on to decimal form and then mul ply the
same by 100.
Here you may use simplifica on by common factor
cancella on or long division.
Example:

Now you may convert the frac on to decima by long division


(if you are able to do the long division of in the
beginning itself, that will also work).
the percentage value is
(Approximate value)
Check your Understanding.

1.4 Reverse Percentages


When either of the original value or the percentage value is
not given but the final value is given then we use the reverse
percentage is used.

Example: x% of 150 is 30.


12% of a number is 54.

Creating equation using the key words

Step 1: % symbol is replaced as value out of 100

Step 2: “Of” is replaced with Multiplication sign

Step 3: “Is” is replaced by the “=” symbol.


Example 1: x% of 150 is 30.
𝒙
× 𝟏𝟓𝟎 = 𝟑𝟎
𝟏𝟎𝟎 Used the process of
𝟑𝟎 × 𝟏𝟎𝟎 cross-mul plica on
𝒙=
𝟏𝟓𝟎

Check your understanding.


1. x% of 180 is 60
2. y% of 640 is 96
3. z% of 80 is 72.
4. 70% of p is 210
5. 4% of q is 3200
