2. Build Understanding

Another Use for Fractions
Students will use their multiplication and division skills in this unit. It will also call into play their skill at
fractions, since percentages are another way of using fractions.
For example, a store has marked an item at 20% off the original price. To find the discount price, students
can multiply the price by 20%, or they can divide the original price by 5. The result is the same. In both
cases, they would deduct the discount from the original price to get the sale price.
