  • Kelsey wants to buy a new necklace for the school dance. She learns that her favorite store is having a one-day sale and has knocked down the price of all its necklaces to $9.95. The necklace Kelsey wants has been reduced by 47%. What is its non-sale price?
    ::Kelsey想为学校舞蹈买一条新项链。她知道她最喜欢的商店有一天的销售,把所有项链的价格都压到9.95美元。Kelsey想要的项链减少了47%。它的非销售价格是多少?

    In this concept, you will learn to use cross products of proportions to find a base,  b .
    ::在这个概念中,你将学会使用比例的交叉产品来寻找基准,b。

    Using Proportions to Find Base, b
    ::使用比例来查找基准,b

    There are many different ways to figure out a part of a whole, but one way is by using proportions.
    ::有很多不同的方法来找出整体的一部分, 但一种方法是使用比例。

    Cross products can be used to solve for the base as well as the percent and the amount.
    ::交叉产品可用于解决基数以及百分比和数量问题。

    When you see the phrase “Of what number?” you know that you are going to be solving for  b , the base. You can then use the same  proportion  to solve for  b .
    ::当您看到“什么数字?” 的短语时,您知道您将要解决 b, 基数。然后您可以使用相同的比例来解决 b 。

    Let’s take a look at an example.
    ::让我们举个例子。

    33 is 15% of what number?
    ::33是哪个数字的15%?

    Remember that the number following the word “of” is the base. Since there is no number after the word “of”, you need to find the base  ( b ) . 33 is the amount  ( a )  and 15 is the percent  ( p ) .
    ::记住“ of” 后的数字是基数。 因为“ of” 后没有数字, 您需要找到基数( b) 。 33 是数值( a ) , 15 是百分比( p ) 。

    a b = p 100 33 b = 15 100 15 b = 33 ( 100 ) 15 b = 3 , 300 15 b 15 = 3 , 300 15 b = 220

    The answer is 33 is 15% of 220.
    ::答案是33是220的15%。

    Let’s look at another example.
    ::让我们再看看另一个例子。

    6 is 17% of what number. Round your answer to the nearest whole number?
    ::6是多少数字的17%。 将您的答复舍入到最近的整数 ?

    To figure this out, let’s write a proportion.
    ::让我们来写一个比例。

    6 b = 17 100

    Next, use cross products to solve for  b .
    ::接下来,使用交叉产品来解决b.

    17 b = 6 ( 100 ) 17 b = 600 b = 35.29

    The answer is rounded to the nearest whole number, 6 is 17% of 35.
    ::答案四舍五入到最近的整数,6是35的17%。

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Kelsey and her new necklace.
    ::早些时候,你得到一个问题 关于凯尔和她的新项链。

    For one day, the necklace she wants has been reduced to $9.95.
    ::有一天 她想要的项链 被缩减到9.95美元

    The discount applied is 47%. What is the regular price of the necklace?
    ::使用的折扣是47% 项链的正常价格是多少?

    First, figure out what you’re trying to find. If the discount is 47%, the sale price is  100 % 47 %  or 53% of the regular price. So you’re trying to find “$9.95 is 53% of what number?”
    ::首先,找出你想找到什么。 如果折扣是47 % , 销售价格是100% — — 47%或正常价格的53%。 因此,你试图找到“9.95美元是数字的53% ? ”

    Now, let’s write a proportion.
    ::现在,让我们写一个比例。

    9.95 b = 53 100

    Next, use cross products to solve for  b .
    ::接下来,使用交叉产品来解决b.

    53 b = 9.95 ( 100 ) 53 b = 995 b = $ 18.77

    The answer is the regular price of the necklace is $18.77. 
    ::答案是项链的正常价格是18.77美元

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Six students in Miss Lang’s third period math class got A’s on their math test. This was 24% of the class.
    ::兰小姐第三学期数学班的6名学生在数学考试中获得了A级的成绩,占班级的24%。

    How many students are in Miss Lang’s third period math class?
    ::兰小姐第三学期数学班有多少学生?

    You can think of this problem as “6 is 24% of what number?” First, let’s set up the proportion.
    ::首先,让我们设定比例。

    6 b = 24 100

    Next, use cross products to solve for  b .
    ::接下来,使用交叉产品来解决b.

    24 b = 6 ( 100 ) 24 b = 600 b = 600 ÷ 24 b = 25

    The answer is there are 25 students in Miss Lang’s third period math class.
    ::答案是朗小姐第三期数学班有25名学生。
