III. PROCEDURE
A. INTRODUCTION
Study the given problem below:
Mark’s daily allowance is 40.00. He spends 12.00 for snacks. This is 30% of
his daily allowance.
Identify which information represents the percentage, the rate, and the base.
In the situation given above, we can say that:
30% of 40.00 is 12.00.
In this case, we can now easily identify which is the percentage, the rate, or
the base. We let P be the percentage, R be the rate, and B be the base.
Php12.00 is the percentage (P) It is the number or the amount that
represents a part a whole.
30% is the rate (R) It is the number compared to 100. It is usually
has either a percent sign (%) or the word
“percent” with it.
Php40.oo is the base (B) It is the number that represents the whole or
the entire amount.
B. DISCUSSION

A. Finding the Percentage

Percentage is the quantity taken from the base. To find the Percentage,
get the product of the rate and base. Thus, P = R X B. Study the given
examples on pages 173-174.
 B. Finding the Rate
Rate is the number expressed in percent. To find for rate, is
P
equal to percentage divided by the base. Thus, R= B . Study the
examples on pages 175-176.

C. Finding the Base

The base is the whole from which a part is taken. To find for the base,
P
get the quotient of the percentage and the rate. Thus, B= R See the given
examples on pages 176-178.
