*****BOX METHOD NOTES*****

We like to explain the "Percent Box". It is a proportion using your base, rate, and part, it is just more visual. It is one large box with 4 equal smaller boxes inside.

  Part    %
Whole  100%

The formula for using the Percent Box is: Multiply diagonally and divide by the remaining number. There will always be "diagonal" to multiply and one number left over to divide!!

The 100% will always stay in the lower right hand corner of the box. You will be given 2 other numbers. The numbers will fit into one of the other 3 boxes depending what you are asked to find. 

To find Percent:

            5 of the 10 online students have passed the math portion of the GED. What is the percent   of students who have passed?

    5          %
   10  100%

The number 5 goes into the Part box (because it is the part of the whole), 10 goes into the Whole box, and 100% stays in its box.  Which numbers are diagonal? 5 and 100. Multiply 5 x 100% or 
5 x 1 = 5. Then you need to divide by the remaining number which is 10. So 5 divided by 10 = .5
Remember to make .5 into a percent move the decimal to the right 2 places so the number now becomes 50%

To find Part:  (We will use the same numbers as above)

50% of the online students passed the math portion of the GED. There are 10 online students. How many students passed?  Draw your box and put in the numbers where they belong.

  ___   50%
  10 100%

            Now, multiply the diagonal numbers (10 x 50% or .50) and divide by the number remaining. 5 divided by 100% or 1. The Part is 5. So 5 student passed.

To find Whole: (We will use the same numbers as above)

There were 5 online students who passed their math GED. That is 50% of the class. How many students are in the class?

   5  50%
   __ 100%

             Now, multiply the diagonal numbers and divide by the remaining number. 
                                                            5 x 100% or 5 x 1 =  5
                                                            5 / 50% or 5 / .50 =  10

Complete the following and email the answers to
            In each question tell if you are looking for the whole, part, or percent. Also give the answer for each question.

1.        60% of 250 =                         _______                      Whole, part, or percent?
2.        4 is what percent of 24?          _______                      Whole, part, or percent?
3.        500 is 25% of what number?   _______                       Whole, part, or percent?
