What is a good definition of a percent? You should use words symbols, pictures and numerical examples in you definition. (Suggestion gliffy is an excellent tool for adding detail to your definition.)
A percent is a number that you get out of a whole by dividing by 100. Example, if you got 18 out of 20 on a test that be 90% by dividing 18 by 20 you would get 90
Question # 2
How are three fifths (3/5), 3:2, 60%, and 0.6 all the same time? Use pictures and words to show your answer.
Decimal
0.6 = 0.6 * 100 = 60%
60/100 = 3/5
100 – 60 = 60:40 or 3:2Ratio
3:2 = N-N = 3/5
3/5
3/5 * 100 = 60%
60% = say it, write it, 60/100 or 3/5
60 /100 = 0.6
100 – 60 = 60:40 or 3:2
fraction
3/5 = 3/5 * 100 = 60%
3/5 = 0.6
3 – 5 = 3:2
Question # 3
Show 3 different ways to find 35% of 80. (Bubbleshare is an excellent tool to animate the many different ways of finding this answer.)
frist way
80/100 = 0.8
0.8 = 1%
35 * 0.8 = 28
second way
80 / 10 = 8
8 = 10%
8 + 8+ 8+4 =28
10 + 10 +10 +5 = 35
28 = 35%
80/2 = 40
40 = 50%
40 /2 = 20
20 =25%
0.1/80 =8
8=10%
Question # 4
Find a link to blogs that deal with percentages. Leave a comment behind and add the link with a review (what the post was talking about …yes you have to read the post and why others should read the post) hint in side the side bar there are link to other schools.

B) What is 120% of 30?
120% of 100 is 120120/100=1.230 x 1.2=36120/100 = 36/30

Overall Comment for the Growing Post: You did very well in answering your questions, but you mostly lost a great amount of marks by not including pictures and using another application from Studentblogwikitools. So when you have free time, you should put in pictures to get better marks.
