Study Notes
Ratio and Proportion
- A ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the same kind.
- It is expressed as a fraction, colon(:), or division sign(/).
- Equivalent ratios have the same value.
- Proportion is an equality of two ratios.
- If a:b = c:d, then a, b, c, and d are in proportion.
Percentage
- Percentage is a fraction with a denominator of 100.
- It is expressed as a percentage sign (%).
- Percentage increase/decrease:
((new value - original value) / original value) * 100 - Percentage change:
((new value - original value) / original value) * 100
Profit and Loss
- Profit: Selling price - Cost price
- Loss: Cost price - Selling price
- Profit percentage:
(Profit / Cost price) * 100 - Loss percentage:
(Loss / Cost price) * 100
Average
- Average: Sum of values / Number of values
- Types of averages:
- Mean: Average of a set of numbers
- Median: Middle value of a set of numbers when arranged in order
- Mode: Most frequent value in a set of numbers
Unitary Method
- A method to solve problems involving ratios and proportions.
- Steps:
- Identify the ratio or proportion.
- Set up an equation based on the ratio or proportion.
- Solve the equation to find the unknown value.
- Used to solve problems involving:
- Cost and selling price
- Ratio of quantities
- Percentage increase/decrease
Ratio and Proportion
- A ratio compares two quantities of the same kind and is expressed as a fraction, colon, or division sign.
- Equivalent ratios have the same value and can be written in different forms.
- Proportion is an equality of two ratios, denoted as a:b = c:d, where a, b, c, and d are in proportion.
Percentage
- A percentage is a fraction with a denominator of 100, expressed with a percentage sign (%).
- Percentage increase or decrease is calculated as ((new value - original value) / original value) * 100.
- Percentage change is also calculated using the same formula.
Profit and Loss
- Profit is the difference between selling price and cost price.
- Loss is the difference between cost price and selling price.
- Profit percentage is calculated as (Profit / Cost price) * 100.
- Loss percentage is calculated as (Loss / Cost price) * 100.
Average
- Average is the sum of values divided by the number of values.
- There are three types of averages:
- Mean: the average of a set of numbers.
- Median: the middle value of a set of numbers when arranged in order.
- Mode: the most frequent value in a set of numbers.
Unitary Method
- The unitary method is used to solve problems involving ratios and proportions.
- It involves identifying the ratio or proportion, setting up an equation, and solving for the unknown value.
- This method is applied to solve problems involving cost and selling price, ratio of quantities, and percentage increase/decrease.
