Lesson 8-3: Percents Greater than 100 or less than 1.

Objective:We will learn to use percents that are less than 1%.We will also learn to use percents that are greater than 100%.

When a soccer coach tells you, “To win a game, you’ve got to give 110%.” What did the coach mean?

How do you know when a percent is greater than 100% or less than 1%?

In a fraction, when the numerator is bigger than the denominator the percent is greater than 100%.

In a fraction, when the numerator is smaller than the denominator the percent is between 1% and 100%.

When you are not sure, rewrite the fractions or decimals as percents, if the percent is a decimal the percent is less than 1%.

Examples: Classify each fraction or

decimal as: (A) Less than 1%, (B) greater than 100%, or (C) between 1% and 100%.

240 = = 100

0.0001= =
