 Lesson Solving Problems Involving
2 Fractions, Decimals and
Percent
In this module, you will be taught on how to solve problems involving fractions,
decimals and percent. Let us now begin!

What’s In

Let us review first the steps on how to express fractions to decimals and percent
and vice versa.

A. Expressing Fractions to Decimals and Vice Versa

How to express a fraction to decimal?

To express a fraction to decimal, simply:
a. Divide the numerator by the denominator using the long division.

3
Example: Express as a decimal.
5
By simply dividing 3 by 5, the result is 0.6.

How to express a decimal to fraction?

To express decimal to fraction, simply:
a. Determine the place value of the last digit of the decimal.
b. Copy the digits of the decimal as the numerator and write the place
value of the last digit as the denominator of the fraction.
c. Simplify the fraction into its lowest or simplest form (if applicable).

Example: Express 0.75 to fraction.

Great job! You may now proceed to the next part of this module.

What is It

You have learned in the previous activity that fractions, decimals and percent
can be used in real-life situations. In fact, fractions, decimals and percent are used
in different fields. It is widely used in education, researches, businesses and many
others.

Now, to help you gain more understanding of our lesson in this module, let us
define some important terms and let us also discuss how to solve problems involving
fractions, decimals and percent.

Important Terms to Remember

The following are the important terms that you should remember for you to be
able to solve problems involving fractions, decimals and percent.

Base (B) – This refers to the total amount, original amount or the whole part.

Portion (P) – This refers to the part or partial amount of the base.
Rate (R) – This is the quantity or amount or measure of the portion to the base.
This is usually written in percent, but it may also be a decimal or fraction.

12
Example:

Mauricio bought half a kilo of coconut oil from a nearby store. Since a kilo of
coconut oil costs ₱68.00, he paid ₱34.00. Identify the (a) base, (b) portion and (c) rate.

Based on the given problem, the following are the answers:

a. The base is ₱68.00 since it is the cost of a kilo of coconut oil.
b. The portion is ₱34.00 since it is the only amount that Mauricio has paid.
1
c. The rate is since he only bought half a kilo of coconut oil.
2

The Three Forms of Portion Formula

The following are the three forms of Portion Formula that can be used in solving
problems involving fractions, decimals and percent:

a. To solve for the Base, use the formula:

Portion  P
Base = B  
Rate  R

b. To solve for the Portion, use the formula:

Portion = Rate × Base P  R  B

c. To solve for the Rate, use the formula:

Portion  P
Rate =
Base
R  
 B

To solve word problems involving fractions, decimals and percent, you must
identify first the Base, Rate and Proportion. Since the base, portion and rate have
already been defined, I know that you can do our next activity. Try it!

Activity 3: Identify It

Direction: Identify the Base, Rate and Portion in the given situations. Simply write
your answers on the spaces provided.

1. In a department store in certain mall in General Santos City, Sarah has seen
a jacket which costs ₱1,099.00 with 15% discount. Now, since the jacket is on
sale, its new price is ₱934.15.

Base Rate Portion

13
 2. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the tricycle fare has increased by 50%. The
former ₱10.00 fare was added by ₱5.00 so it became ₱15.00.

Base Rate Portion

3. Because of the social distancing protocol, the number of passengers that can
ride in a tricycle was cut into half. Before, it can accommodate 6 passengers.
But now, it can accommodate only 3.

Base Rate Portion

4. Before the lockdown, a certain restaurant in a mall in General Santos City has
an average daily income of ₱120,000.00. However, due to the lockdown, its
1
average daily income dropped to ₱20,000.00 which is only of its regular daily
6
income.

Base Rate Portion

5. If Marina earns ₱25,000.00 monthly and always saves 20% of it, then she
saves ₱5,000.00 in a month.

Base Rate Portion

Great job! Now, let us discuss all the steps on how to solve word problems
involving fractions, decimals and percent.

How to Solve Word Problems Involving Fractions, Decimals and Percent?
