Students will be able to:
write a proportion to model a percent situation.
use a percent proportion to find an unknown part, whole, or percent.
Proportions can be used to solve a wide range of percent problems because there is a proportional relationship between the quantities.
Percent problems represent a kind of proportional relationship. You can use proportional reasoning to solve percent problems.
[Bar model: part represented by p%, whole represented by 100%.]
part / whole = p / 100
