Percentages are frequently used in a
variety of contexts. For instance, many
statistics in the media, bank interest
rates, retail discounts, and inflation rates
are all expressed as percentages. For
understanding the financial aspects of
daily life, percentages are crucial.
 To find the percentage of a number, multiply the percent rate
by zthe total quantity which is the base number. Change the
percent rate to fraction or decimal, whichever is easier to use.

Percentages are frequently used in
a variety of contexts. For instance,
many statistics in the media, bank
interest rates, retail discounts, and
inflation rates are all expressed as
percentages. For understanding
the financial aspects of daily life,
percentages are crucial.
To find the percentage of a number, you need
to define and identify the base, percentage and
rate in a problem. You also need to
comprehend the information given in the
problem and identify what is being asked.
Remember that in solving routine problems involving
percentage, there are only 4 easy steps to follow:

Step 1: Understand Know what is asked. Know the given

facts. Determine hidden questions, if there are any.
Step 2: Plan Determine the operation/s to be used Write the
number sentence
Step 3: Solve Solve the number sentence.
Step 4: Check and Look back Write the correct answer On the
other hand, non-routine problems typically do not have an
immediately apparent strategy for solving them, it can be done
in multiple ways and with a variety of strategies.
Here are some of the different
strategies used in solving non-
routine word problems.
 Look for a pattern
 Guess and check
 Work backward
 Make a model/ visualize the problem
 Break up the problem into smaller parts and
solve each part
Our bill is ₱663. If we gave a 5% tip to our waiter,
how much will that be?

1. Understand
a. What is asked?
The amount of the tip that they will give to the waiter.
b. What are the given facts? 5% of the ₱663.
2. Plan
c. What operation to be used? Multiplication
d. What is the number sentence? 5% x ₱663 = n
e. Solution
Step 1. Find the rate, base and the percentage to
solve the problem using the formula use (n) for the
unknown number.

Step 2. Change the rate to decimal before we

apply the formula.
Step 3. We will just plug in the values inside the
triangle:
Example 2:
There are 45 questions in a summative examinations. For
every correct answer, 5 points is scored. For every incorrect
answer, 3 points are deducted. Shiela scored 185 points.
How many correct answers did she have? What percent is
this of 45?
Assume that Shiela scored perfectly in the summative exam.
She would then have a score of 45 x 5 or 225. If she had 1
incorrect answer, she would have scored (44 x 5) – (1 x 3) or
217.
Observe that from the highest possible score of 225, 8 points
is deducted for every incorrect answer. This is because 5
points is lost for failing to give the correct answer and 3
points is lost because of the deduction.
This is summarized in the table below.
Points lost by Shiela = 225 – 185 = 40. Refer to the last
row.
No. of incorrect answers = 40 ÷ 8 = 5

For the next question, what percent of the 45 total

number of items did Shiela answer correctly, we have,
P = R x B,
R = P/B (using Techan’s Triangle)
= 40/45 x 100%
= 0.8 x 100% = 88.89%

Therefore, Shiela’s 40 correct answers is is 88.89% of

the 45 total no. of items.
