Students have been solving equations with fraction coefficients in the past few lessons so these percent problems are an application of their prior work. Consider asking some of the following questions to guide the discussion and help students recognize this connection: • “How are the equations we wrote today related to the equations we have previously written with fractions? How do solution strategies compare?” • “Can equations be used to solve other types of problems with percents? For example, where we know the part and the whole but not what percent the part is of the whole?” (Yes. For example, the equation 20p = 5 and its solution p = 1 4or 100 25tells us that 5 is 25% of 20.) • “Describe a situation where you know what percent a number is of another, but you don’t know that second number. Explain how you would find the second number.” PLEASE HELP!!!
