6-4 Finding a Number When the Percent Is Known
Carcharocles megalodon, a giant shark that became extinct almost 3 million years ago, had teeth as large as 7.25 inches along an edge. This is 240% bigger than the largest teeth of a modern great white shark.
When one number is known, and its relationship to another number is given by a percent, the other number can be found.

60 = 0.12n
60 is 12% of what number?
Additional Example 1: Finding a Number When the Percent Is Known
Choose a method: Set up an equation to find the number.
60 = 12% n
= n 60
0.12 0.12
0.12Divide both sides by 0.12.
500 = n
60 is 12% of 500.
Set up an equation.

75 = 0.25n
75 is 25% of what number?
Check It Out: Example 1
Choose an equation: Set up an equation to find the number.
75 = 25% n
= n 75
0.25 0.25
0.25 Divide both sides by 0.25.
300 = n
75 is 25% of 300.
Set up an equation.

Anna earned 85% on a test by answering 17 questions correctly. If each question was worth the same amount, how many questions were on the test?
Additional Example 2: Application
Choose a method: Set up a proportion to find the number.
Think: 85 is to 100 as 17 is to what number?
= 85

6-4 Finding a Number When the Percent Is Known
When a giraffe is born, it is approximately 55% as tall as it will be as an adult. If a baby giraffe is 5.2 feet tall when it is born, how tall will it be when it is full grown, to the nearest tenth of a foot?
Additional Example 3A: Life Science Application
Choose a method: Set up a proportion.
Think: 55 is to 100 and 5.2 is to what number?
= h
5.2 55 100
Set up a proportion.
Course 3
6-4 Finding a Number When the Percent Is Known
Additional Example 3A Continued
55h = 520
This giraffe will be approximately 9.5 feet tall when full grown.
55 h = 100 5.2 Find the cross products.
52055
h = Divide both sides by 55.
h 9.5 Simplify.

6-4 Finding a Number When the Percent Is Known
A fisherman caught a lobster that weighed 11.5 lb. This was 70% of the weight of the largest lobster that fisherman had ever caught. What was the weight, to the nearest tenth of a pound, of the largest lobster the fisherman had ever caught?
Additional Example 3B: Life Science Application
Choose a method: Set up an equation.
Think: 11.5 is 70% of what number?
11.5 = 70% n Set up an equation.
Course 3
6-4 Finding a Number When the Percent Is Known
Additional Example 3B Continued
16.4 n
The largest lobster the fisherman had ever caught was about 16.4 lb.
11.5 = 0.70 n 70% = 0.70
Divide both sides by .70. 11.5 0.70
n =
Simplify.

Amy caught a fish that weighed 15.5 lb. This was 85% of the weight of the largest fish that Amy had ever caught. What was the weight, to the nearest tenth of a pound, of the largest fish that Amy had ever caught?
Check It Out: Example 3
Choose a method: Set up an equation.
Think: 15.5 is 85% of what number?
15.5 = 85% n Set up an equation.

Check It Out: Example 3 Continued
18.2 n
The largest fish that Amy had ever caught was about 18.2 lb.
15.5 = 0.85 n 85% = 0.85
Divide both sides by 0.85. 15.5 0.85
