monique´s draft

Ok so Angelic picked me to be the next scribe and this is my first time being the scribe so ya =)

So today we talked about the percent,graph thing. We talked about our homework and how to get a number like 30. Then we looked at the one percent, five percent, ten percent, thirty percent, sixty-five percent, and seventy-five percent of 400 and 162. We then tried to find short cuts and tried five other examples.

Here are some examples to get 30%:

1. 400 divided by100=4 4x30=120%
2. 10+10+10=30/100 10 divided by 30=0.3
3. 30 divided by 100=0.30 x 400=120

Homework:
Our homework was to find 35% of 80%. Show Mr. Harbeck 3 different ways to get the answer using the grid he gave us today.

Here are some examples to get it:

1. 162 divided by 10=16.2 or 10% 16.2 x 3=48.6 10 x 3=30

2. 162 divided by 100= 1.62 x 30 =48.6

3. 162 divided by 10 =

16.2 or 10%

16.2 or 10%

16.2 or 10%

------ ------

48.6 or 30%
