MATHEMATICS - Grade 6

Finding the Percentage or Rate or Percent in a Given Problem


(Week 3a)
Name: ___________________________ Grade Level: _______
Date: ___________________________ Score: ____________
I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
Are you familiar with this symbol %? Where do you usually see it? If
you are fond of going to the malls you can see this when they are on sale. It’s
sound interesting, isn’t it?
The word Percent means for every hundred or per hundred or
hundredths. It comes from the Latin word per centum. It is a number that
expresses a fraction whose denominator is 100. The percent symbol (%)
replaces the denominator 100 in a fraction.

The shaded parts


represent
20
or 20%
100

Percentage is the number or the amount that represents a part of a whole.


Rate is the number compared to 100. It usually has either a percent sign (%) or the
word percent with it.
Base is the number that represents the whole or the entire amount. It is the number
that comes after the word “of”.
To find the percentage or rate or percent in a given problem, we can use the
Techan’s triangle as a guide.

To get the percentage: rate x base P= B x R


To get the rate: percentage/ base R= B ÷ R
To get the base: percentage/ rate B= P ÷ R
