A tile floor has 90 blue tiles, which is 15% of all the tiles in the
floor. How many tiles are in the floor in all?
Proportions and Percents
15x = 100(90) Write cross products.
x = 600 Simplify.
The floor has 600 tiles in all.
Check: Is the answer reasonable? The problem says the number of
blue tiles is 15%. 10% of 600 is 60, so 5% of 600 is 30, and
15% is 60 + 30 = 90. The answer is reasonable.

A grocery store has a 20% markup on a can of soup.
The can of soup costs the store $1.25. Find the markup.
Markup and Discount
markup = percent of markup • store’s cost

The markup is $.25.
A bookstore pays $4.50 for a novel. The percent of markup is
45%. Find the novel’s selling price.
Markup and Discount
0.45 • 4.50 = 2.03 Multiply to find the markup.
4.50 + 2.03 = 6.53 Store’s cost + markup = selling price.
The selling price is $6.53.
