Angle is acute one

Trenton goes to a yard sale and buys 47 new stamps. Trenton now owns a total of 147 stamps. What was the percent of change in the number of stamps that Trenton owned?

Allison:

Okee 47 and 147

Angle:

yup! 47 and 147 what do you think you should do with them? :)

Allison:

Divide ~o-o~

Angle:

yus!

Allison:

Yesh

Allison:

47/147

Angle:

OOOOO wait

Allison:

o.o

Allison:

Other way? e.e

Angle:

we gotta read carefully "Trenton NOW owns a total of 147 stamps" but the bottom number needs to be what Trenton STARTED with ;-;

Allison:

A..hundred...? o.e

Angle:

yus! :D

Allison:

:D

Angle:

now we can divide :D

Allison:

147/100?

Allison:

No, 47

Angle:

mhm 47 / 100

Allison:

Okai

Allison:

47%

Angle:

perfect ^_^

Allison:

Breh. I could have noticed the percentage since it’s a hundred.. o.e

Angle:

haha yeah, but it's good to get into the habit of going through the process because it might not always be 100

Allison:

Dixie wants to sell 40 of her cups at an auction. If she has 30 cups after the auction what was the percent of change in the number of cups Dixie had?

Allison:

Yeah, I know. I just usually realize things after I do the long way to them (':

Angle:

ok so for this one if Dixie started with 40, and ended with 30. How many did Dixie sell?

Allison:

Wouldn’t it be 75%...? o.e

Angle:

careful the numerator needs to be the "amount of change" which, in this case, would be how much Dixie sold

Allison:

Oh 25%

Angle:

yup!

Allison:

O:

Allison:

Okay okay, they’re getting harder and easier o.e

Allison:

Autumn decides she’s going to count and relieved that she rakes from her yard. Unfortunately she forgets to count as she rakes. She knows that she started with 1000 leaves and she counts 135 believes what she decides she’s done. What is the percent change of number of leaves that autumn raked?

Angle:

so she started with 1000 leaves and ends with 135 leaves

Angle:

really weird... who counts leaves? o-o

Allison:

IKR

Allison:

I was thinking that x'D

Angle:

anyways, it's the same idea "amount of change"


"original amount"

Angle:

ohh I did not mean for that to happen

Allison:

It’s okay

Allison:

I have to go but I will be back later. If you’re not here, thank you very much for your help. ^-^ <3
