I have found the concepts that we have been learning in math to be very helpful. From this information, I have gotten better at calculating percents, among many other things.

Here are 2 unit rates that can be found in one problem:

Ozs. 1           x

–           –

$      y           5

Obviously, I cannot figure out both x and y in this problem, but if I know one of them I can. For example, if I went to the store and had one dollar to get ounces of cereal, how many I could get for $1. I would solve it by setting it up like this:

Ozs. 5           x

–           –

$      25         1

I would be able to figure out this problem. In order to do this, I would need to multiply 1 by 5, and then divide it by 25, so it would be 0.2. Now, I know that for every dollar, you can get .2 ozs of cereal.
