Example 2: A Numeric Approach to Finding a Part, Given a Percent of the Whole
In Ty’s English class, 70% of the students completed an essay by the due date. There are 30 students in Ty’s English class. How many completed the essay by the due date?
Answer:
Whole → 100%
30 → 100%
\(\frac{30}{100}\) → 1%
70 ∙ \(\frac{3}{100}\) → 21
21 → 70%
70% of 30 is 21, so 21 of the students in Ty’s English class completed their essays on time.

Example 3: An Algebraic Approach to Finding a Part, Given a Percent of the Whole
A bag of candy contains 300 pieces of which 28% are red. How many pieces are red?
Which quantity represents the whole?
Answer:
The total number of candies in the bag, 300, is the whole because the number of red candies is being compared to it.

Which of the terms in the percent equation is unknown? Define a letter (variable) to represent the unknown quantity.
Answer:
We do not know the part, which is the number of red candies in the bag. Let r represent the number of red candies in the bag.

Write an expression using the percent and the whole to represent the number of pieces of red candy.
Answer:
\(\frac{28}{100}\) ∙ (300), or 0.28∙(300), is the amount of red candy since the number of red candies is 28% of the 300 pieces of candy in the bag.

Write and solve an equation to find the unknown quantity.
Part = Percent × Whole
r = \(\frac{28}{100}\) ∙ (300)
r 28 ∙ 3
r = 84
There are 84 red pieces of candy in the bag.

Example 4: Comparing Part of a Whole to the Whole with the Percent Formula
Zoey inflated 24 balloons for decorations at the middle school dance. If Zoey inflated 15% of the total number of balloons inflated for the dance, how many balloons are there total? Solve the problem using the percent formula, and verify your answer using a visual model.
Answer:
Part = Percent×Whole
The part is 24 balloons, and the percent is 15%, so let t represent the unknown total number of balloons.
24 = \(\frac{15}{100}\) t If a = b, then ac = bc.
\(\frac{100}{15}\) (24) = \(\frac{100}{15}\) (\(\frac{15}{100}\))t Multiplicative inverse
\(\frac{2400}{15}\) = 1t Multiplicative identity property of 1 and equivalent fractions
160 = t
The total number of balloons to be inflated for the dance was 160 balloons.

15% → 24
1% → \(\frac{24}{15}\) We want the quantity that corresponds with 100%, so first we find 1%.*
100% → \(\frac{24}{15}\) ∙ 100
100% → \(\frac{24}{3}\) ∙ 20
100% → 160
Student may also find 5% as is shown in the tape diagram below.
The total number of balloons to be inflated for the dance was 160 balloons.

Example 5: Finding the Percent Given a Part of the Whole and the Whole
Haley is making admission tickets to the middle school dance. So far she has made 112 tickets, and her plan is to make 320 tickets. What percent of the admission tickets has Haley produced so far? Solve the problem using the percent formula, and verify your answer using a visual model.
Answer:
Part = Percent×Whole
The part is 112 tickets, and the whole is 320 tickets, so let p represent the unknown percent.
112 = p(320) If” a = b”,then” ac = bc.
112 ∙ \(\frac{1}{320}\) = p(320) ∙ \(\frac{1}{320}\) “Multiplicative inverse
\(\frac{112}{320}\) = p(1) Multiplicative identity property of 1
\(\frac{7}{20}\) = p
0.35 = p
0.35 = \(\frac{35}{100}\) = 35%, so Haley has made 35% of the tickets for the dance.
Engage NY Math 7th Grade Module 4 Lesson 2 Example Answer Key 2
We need to know the percent that corresponds with 112, so first we find the percent that corresponds with 1 ticket.
320 → 100%
1 → (\(\frac{100}{320}\))%
112 → 112 ∙ (\(\frac{100}{320}\))%
112 → 112 ∙ (\(\frac{5}{16}\))%
112 → 7∙(5)%
112 → 35%
Haley has made 35% of the tickets for the dance.

Answer:
Engage NY Math Grade 7 Module 4 Lesson 2 Exercise Answer Key 5
The whole is the number of art projects turned in by Ty’s class, 25.
\(\frac{25}{100}\) = 0.25; 0.25∙12 = 3; 12% of 25 is 3, so 3 art projects in Ty’s class received a perfect score.

Exercise 2
A bag of candy contains 300 pieces of which 28% are red. How many pieces are not red?
a. Write an equation to represent the number of pieces that are not red, n.
Answer:
Part = Percent×Whole
n = (100% – 28%)(300)

b. Use your equation to find the number of pieces of candy that are not red.
Answer:
If 28% of the candies are red, then the difference of 100% and 28% must be candies that are not red.
n = (100% – 28%)(300)
n = (72%)(300)
n = \(\frac{72}{100}\)(300)
n = 72∙3
n = 216
There are 216 pieces of candy in the bag that are not red.

c. Jah – Lil told his math teacher that he could use the answer from Example 3 and mental math to find the number of pieces of candy that are not red. Explain what Jah – Lil meant by that.
Answer:
He meant that once you know there are 84 red pieces of candy in a bag that contains 300 pieces of candy total, you just subtract 84 from 300 to know that 216 pieces of candy are not red.

Question 1.
On a recent survey, 60% of those surveyed indicated that they preferred walking to running.
a. If 540 people preferred walking, how many people were surveyed?
Answer:
Let n represent the number of people surveyed.
0.60n is the number of people who preferred walking.
Since 540 people preferred walking,
0.60n = 540
n = \(\frac{540}{0.6}\) = \(\frac{5,400}{6}\) = 900
Therefore, 900 people were surveyed.

b. How many people preferred running?
Answer:
Subtract 540 from 900.
900 – 540 = 360
Therefore, 360 people preferred running.

Question 2.
Which is greater: 25% of 15 or 15% of 25? Explain your reasoning using algebraic representations or visual models.
Answer:
They are the same.
0.25×15 = \(\frac{25}{100}\) × 15 = 3.75
0.15×25 = \(\frac{15}{100}\) × 25 = 3.75
Also, you can see they are the same without actually computing the product because of any order, any grouping of multiplication.
\(\frac{25}{100}\) × 15 = 25 × \(\frac{1}{100}\) × 15 = 25 × \(\frac{15}{100}\)
