We know that many of you are going to go out and become pirates. You're going to be out there dividing up treasure chests full of money. Maybe you will just be out with your friends and come across buried treasure. If you go into politics, you might be forced to work with budgets and divide up money to different departments. We just want to let you know that, even if you are a pirate, you will need to know some division. There is no escape.

We look at the idea of money in the addition and subtraction sections. In the United States we have dollars and cents, and each cent is 0.01 of a dollar. If you made it through the page on decimals, dividing money will be like a review for you.

Problem: You have $15.36 and you need to divide the money to five friends.

Steps to Solve:

Total money ÷ Number of people = Money for each person 15.36 ÷ 6 = ? • Since the divisor (6) doesn't have any decimal places, you don't need to move your decimal place in the dividend. • Does 6 go into 15? Yes, two times. Write 2 and a decimal point in your quotient. • Multiply and Subtract to get a difference of 3. • Bring down the 3 to make 33. • Does 6 go into 33? Yes, five times. Write 5 in your quotient. • Multiply and Subtract to get a difference of 3. • Bring down the 6 to make 36. • Does 6 go into 36? Yes, six times. Write 6 in your quotient. • Multiply and Subtract to get a difference of 0. (No remainder and no more numbers in the dividend.)

Answer:

$15.36 ÷ 6 = $2.56 given to each person.

That's really all there is to these types of problems. One more example and we're done.

Problem: A store wants to make $150 after they sell a container of stuffed animals. There are 40 toys in each container. How much will each stuffed animal cost?

Steps to Solve:

Total amount they want to make ÷ Number of toys = Price for each toy. 150 ÷ 40 = ? • No need to worry about moving decimal points. • Does 4 go into 150? Yes, three times. Write 3 in your quotient. • Multiply and Subtract to get a difference of 30. • You.re out of values in your dividend, so add a decimal point and two zeros. • Bring down the 0 to make 300. • Does 40 go into 300? Yes, seven times. Write 7 in your quotient after the decimal point. • Multiply and Subtract to get a difference of 20. • Bring down the 0 to make 200. • Does 40 go into 200? Yes, five times. Write 5 in your quotient. • Multiply and Subtract to get a difference of 0. (No remainder and no more numbers in the dividend.)

Answer:

$150.00 ÷ 40 = $3.75 for each stuffed animal.

Check your work... • 40 40 Stuffed animals * $3.75 for each toy = $150 made by the store. • 40 * 3.75 = 150

Calculator 1 converts any ratio to a percent. That is, it answers the question "what percent is 'X' of 'Y', i.e., 'X:Y' or 'X/Y'"?

To use it, first understand the ratio. For example, if you earn $1,000 a week and you have $183 taken out of your pay, and you want to know what percentage of your pay gets deducted from the total then the ratio you want to convert is 183:1000. Enter 183 as "This number" and the 1,000 as the "is what percent of this number." The result is 18.3%. Or you have 18.3% deducted from your pay.

Calculator 1 can also be used as a fraction to percent calculator. How? If you've been following along, you probably already know. But for those who may have skipped ahead, the answer is simple. Take any fractions, for example, "27/82", and enter the numerator (27) into "This number." Then take the denominator (82) and enter it into "is what percent of this number." The percentage is 32.9268%.

Notice also that percentage calculator 1 works as a percent to decimal calculator as well.

Are you getting the idea?

Do you see the relationship between percents, ratios, and fractions?

If not, this would be a good place to stop and review what I've written so far. The balance of the material builds on what we've learned. Go ahead, and I'll wait.

Other Calculations Involving Percentages

What happens when we know the percent, but we don't know one of the two numbers in the ratio?

Imagine we want to know "X" is 20% of what number "Y" if "X" equals 2,250. (The ratio looks like this: 2250:Y). You have to pay 20% of an upcoming doctor's bill, and the insurance company will pay the balance. You have $2,250. What is the maximum amount the bill can be so that you'll still have enough to cover your share? Use Percentage Calculator 2
Or suppose we want to know what number "X" is 90% of "Y" if "Y" is 145? (The ratio looks like this: X:145). An "A" grade is 90% or above. If there are 145 questions on the test, how many do I have to get right to get an "A"? Use Percentage Calculator 3

Finally, what if you need to know the percentage change (increase or decrease) between amount or size "X" and "Y"? An item you have been thinking of purchasing had cost $249.95 and now costs $199.95. The ratio is 249.95:199.95. What is the percent the price dropped? (We would ask what is the "discount?") We can easily flip the calculation on its head. Suppose the price had been $199.95 and is now $249.95 (199.95:249.95), what is the percent increase? Use Percentage Calculator 4

Why do the above two calculations have different results?

Notice ratios need not have only integer (whole number) parts. Frequently, many people need to do percentage calculations involving money, as we see above.

Jenny has two quarters and Paul has five dimes. Who has more coins? Who has more money?

When writing amounts of money, two forms can be used: cents and dollars.

To write cents, use a cent sign and do not use a decimal point with it. A quarter is worth 25 cents, or 25¢.
To write dollars, use a decimal point and dollar sign, $1.00. A decimal point is also used to show fractions of a dollar. A fraction is part of a whole, so "a fraction of a dollar" is a part of a dollar. A quarter, or $0.25, means “twenty-five hundredths of a dollar,” which is a fraction of a dollar equal to 25 cents.

Discuss with a parent or teacher the name and value of each coin below:

Now that you have discussed the name and value of each coin, let’s look at what “fraction of a dollar” each coin is. Think about how many parts equal a whole. In this case, the parts are the coins and the whole is the dollar:
