it weighs on Earth How much would a person who
weighs 150 pounds on Earth weigh on Mars?
Understand Read the problem Write what you know
On Mars something weighs 38% of what it does on Earth
Plan Pick a strategy One strategy is to solve a simpler
problem
Divide 38% into percents that are easier to compute
38% = 30% + 5% + 3%
Solve 30%: What is 10% of 150 pounds? 15 pounds
Multiply this by 3 because 30 = 10 · 3 45
So, 30% of 150 is 45
5%: 10% of 150 is 15 Divide the amount of 10% in half to find 5%
So, 5% of 150 is 1
2 · 15 , or 7.5 .3%: What is 1% of 150 pounds? 1.5 pounds
Multiply this by 3 4.5
So, 3% of 150 is 3 · 1.5 , or 4.5 .38%: Add the smaller percents to find 38% of 150 pounds.

Solve Percent Problems
A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal
In a proportion, a cross product is the product of the
numerator of one ratio and the denominator of the other ratio
Finding both cross products is called cross multiplying
In this proportion, a common
denominator of the two fractions _ 2.4
On the left side, you can cancel the 4s
On the right side, you can cancel the 5s 5 · 2.4 = 3 · 4
Notice that 5 · 2.4 and 3 · 4 are the same as the two cross
products of the original proportion This demonstrates how
cross products of a proportion are equal
Cross multiply to find the unknown value in a proportion
percent × whole = part
The percent is always the ratio of
This is a proportion because two ratios are equal The percent
is one ratio, and the part-to-whole is the other ratio.

the amount of money deposited or invested
compound interest

KEY Concept
Interest Problems
When you have a savings account, the bank pays you money
This money is called interest The amount of money that you
save is called the principal When you invest money, you
receive interest When you borrow money, you pay interest
A common form of borrowing money is a loan.
The formula I = p × r × t is used to find simple interest
Write the interest rate as a decimal Drop the % sign and
move the decimal to the left two places Time must be
expressed in years If the time is part of a year, write it as
a decimal or fraction
When interest is paid on both the principal and on any
interest already in the account, it is called compound interest
Write the interest rate as a decimal
In the simple interest formula, you have to add the principal to
the amount of interest earned to find the amount in the account In the
compound interest formula, you have to subtract the principal to find
the amount of the interest earned
per-centages of quantities and solve problems involving discounts at
sales, interest earned, and tips
discounts, markups, commissions, and
profit and compute simple and
compound interest.

5 Find the value of an investment of $1,000 for 5 years at 8% interest
compounded semiannually Use a spreadsheet or calculator to help
you Round the answer to the nearest cent
Step 1 Write the compound interest formula A = P(1 + r _ n )nt
Step 2 How many times is interest paid per year? n = 2
How many years is the investment? t = 5
Step 3 Substitute the values that you know A = 1,000(1 + 0.08 _ 2 )2(5)
Semiannually means two times a year.

Plan Pick a strategy One strategy is
to solve a simpler problem
Use the simple interest formula
to find the interest earned foreach time period
Solve Use the simple interest formula
to calculate the interest for
1 month, 6 months, and 1 year
1 month I = 1,000 · 0.035 · 1 _ 12 = $2.92
6 months I = 1,000 · 0.035 · 1 _ 2 = $17.50
12 months I = 1,000 · 0.035 · 1 = $35Check The amount of interest should increase as the
number of months increases
Make a table to help you write the time as a ratio in simplest form.

Percent of Change
A percent of change is a ratio that compares the change in an
amount to the original amount
When the change is positive, it is a percent of increase
When the change is negative, it is a percent of decrease
Convert your decimal answer to a percent If it is positive,
label it “percent of increase.” If it is negative, drop the
negative sign and label it “percent of decrease.”
Example 1
Find the percent of change
At 1 year old, a tree was 3 feet tall At
7 years old, the same tree was 7.5 feet
tall What is the percent of change in
the tree’s height?
1 The original amount is 3
The new amount is 7.5
2 Substitute the values in the formula
new
original amount original amount =
At 4 years old, Yonnie was 40 inches tall At
12 years old, she was 54 inches tall What is the percent of change in her height?
1 The original amount is 40 The new amount is 54 .
2 Substitute the values in the formula
discounts, markups, commissions, and profit and compute simple and
compound interest
