    PROBLEMS INVOLVING FRACTIONS,

    DECIMALS, AND PERCENT


    OBJECTIVES
    At the end of the lesson, you will learn to:
    • give real-life situations to illustrate fractions,
    decimals, and percent
    • solve problems involving fractions, decimals,
    and percent
    Where do you see fractions?

    Where do you see decimals?

    Where do you see percents?


    There are various practical applications of fractions,
    decimals, and percents that you might have already
    encountered.
    Computation of Costs

    Sales Discount

    Interest Rates

    Cooking a recipe for a different number of its usual servings

    Conversion to dollars or other foreign currencies


    There are also examples which you may encounter in
    future studies or when you graduate and work or have
    your own business.
    Profits Income tax, excise tax, ad valorem tax

    Utilities Credit card interest payments

    Premium payments Senior citizen discounts

    Computation of value added tax (VAT), service charge

    Salary deductions – GSIS, SSS, PhilHealth


    Sample Problem 1:
    A department store is giving sales discount on selected
    items. How much would you pay for a pair of shoes
    whose original price is ₱1,350 with a 20% discount?

    Solution:

     
    Therefore, you would pay ₱1, 080 only.

    Therefore, you would pay ₱1, 080 only.


    Sample Problem 2:
    Sonia baked 5 dozens of cupcakes which cost her a total
    of ₱2, 675. How much should she sell each cupcake if
    she wants to get a 25% profit?

    Solution:

     
    Therefore, you would pay ₱1, 080 only.

    The total sales inclusive of the 25% profit must be ₱3, 343.75.
    To determine the price of each cupcake, divide the total sales by
    60 (equivalent to 5 dozens)
     
    Therefore, you would pay ₱1, 080 only.

    Therefore, the selling price of each cupcake should be ₱55.75.


    Sample Problem 3:
    If the total amount due in a CEPALCO bill is ₱2,612.35,
    show the computation of the breakdown of charges
    reflected in the bill(verify the given percentages in the
    breakdown).
    Bill Subgroup Percentage Subtotal
    Generation 45.48% 0.4548
      ( 2,612.35 ) =1,188.10
    Transmission 10.02% 0.1002
      ( 2,612.35 )=261.76
    System Loss 5.03% 0.0503
      ( 2,612.35 ) =131.40
    Distribution 24.45% 0.2445
      ( 2,612.35 ) =638.72
    Subsidies 1.08% 0.0108
      ( 2,612.35 ) =28.21
    Government Taxes 9.66% 0.0966
      ( 2,612.35 ) =252.35
    Universal Charges 3.84% 0.0384
      ( 2,612.35 ) =100.32
    Fit-All (Renewable) 0.44% 0.0044
      ( 2,612.35 ) =11.49
    Total 100%   2,612.3
    Sample Problem 4:
    Dr. Rolando Lopez bought a dentist’s chair for ₱50,000.
      payment. His mother
    He paid of this amount as down
    gave him of the down payment.

    a. How much was the down payment?


     
    Therefore, you would pay ₱1, 080 only.

    b. How much did his mother give him?


     

    Therefore, you would pay ₱1, 080 only.
