Example 1
In minute \latex{ 25 }, Szeged was leading against Veszprém \latex{ 15:12 }. Szeged needed \latex{ 20 } shots to score \latex{ 15 } goals. What is their efficiency %\latex{?}
Solution 1
\latex{ 20 } shots
\latex{ 15 } goals
\latex{ 100 }%
?
\latex{20}
\latex{100}
shots
\latex{ 1 }%
\latex{\qquad 15 \quad} goals \latex{ \qquad\qquad\qquad15\div\frac{20}{100}}% \latex{=15\times\frac{\overset{5}{\cancel{100}}}{\underset{1}{\cancel{20}}}}% \latex{=75}%
Solution 2
\latex{\qquad 20 \qquad} shots\latex{ \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad100 }%
\latex{\qquad1\qquad} shot \latex{ \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\frac{100}{20}}% \latex{ =5 }%
\latex{\qquad 15 \qquad} goals\latex{ \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad15\times5 }% \latex{ =75 }%
\latex{\qquad1\qquad} shot \latex{ \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\frac{100}{20}}% \latex{ =5 }%
\latex{\qquad 15 \qquad} goals\latex{ \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad15\times5 }% \latex{ =75 }%
Solution 3
\latex{ 1 } shot is \latex{\frac{1}{20}} of \latex{ 20 } shots,
\latex{ 15 } goals are \latex{\qquad\frac{15}{20}} of \latex{ 20 }.
\latex{\frac{15}{20}=\frac{75}{100}\rightarrow75} %.
Until minute \latex{25}, the efficiency of Szeged was \latex{75}%.
Example 2
Last \latex{ year, } there were \latex{ 30 } athletes at a school. This \latex{ year }, there are \latex{ 42 }. What percentage of last \latex{ year's } number of athletes is the current number of athletes?
Solution 1
Last \latex{ year's } number of athletes should be \latex{ 100 }%.
\latex{ 30 } athletes
\latex{ 42 } athletes
\latex{ 100 }%
?
\latex{1} athlete
\latex{ 100 }
\latex{ 30 }
%
\latex{\qquad 42 \quad} athletes \latex{ \qquad\qquad\qquad\overset{7}{\cancel{42}}\times\frac{{100}}{\underset{5}{\cancel{30}}}}% \latex{=\frac{700}{5}}% \latex{=140}%
Solution 2
\latex{ 42 } athletes are \latex{\frac{42}{30}} times \latex{ 30 } athletes.
\latex{\frac{42}{30}=\frac{7}{5}=1.4.} \latex{ 1.4 } \latex{\rightarrow140}%.
This \latex{ year's } number of athletes is \latex{ 140 }% of last \latex{ year's } number of athletes.
Example 3
At a store, there is a \latex{ 25 }% discount on a juice; at another, there is a 'buy two, get one free' offer for the same juice. In which store should you buy the juice?
Solution 1
At the first store, the discount is \latex{ 25 }%.
At the other store, you can get three boxes of juice for the price of two.
\latex{ 3 } boxes of juice \latex{ 100 }%
\latex{ 1 } box of juice \latex{\frac{100}{3} }%
\latex{ 2 } boxes of juice \latex{2\times\frac{100}{3}}% \latex{=66.\dot{6}}% \latex{ \approx 66.7}%
\latex{ 1 } box of juice \latex{\frac{100}{3} }%
\latex{ 2 } boxes of juice \latex{2\times\frac{100}{3}}% \latex{=66.\dot{6}}% \latex{ \approx 66.7}%
Thus, the discount is \latex{ 100 }%\latex{ - 66.7 }% \latex{ = 33.3 }%.
Solution 2
If you can get \latex{ 3 } boxes of juice for the price of \latex{ 2 }, then one box costs \latex{\frac{2}{3}} of the price of \latex{ 2 } boxes.
\latex{\frac{2}{3}=0.66\dot6 \approx 0.667.\quad 0.667} \latex{\rightarrow 66.7 }%. The discount is \latex{ 33.3 }%.
It is worth buying the juice at the second store.
