Expressing Prices
EXAMPLE

Newspaper ads for food stores often report prices in both dollars
and cents. To compare prices we must be able to express prices
in both cents and dollars.
Express $0.59 in cents.
$0.59  59

Express 69 in dollars.
69  $0.69

Some prices are quoted in fractions of a cent, such as $1.013. To


express this amount in cents, move the decimal point two places
to the right.
$1.013  101.3

Directions Express these prices in dollars and cents. It is important to


use the correct symbol in the price.

Reading Prices
EXAMPLE

It is not unsual to see food prices written without the dollar sign,
$, or the cents sign, . Most of the time it is easy to understand
what the price is.
A. 57

B. $0.57

C. .57 All three prices mean fifty-seven cents.

However, every so often a mistake is made and a price is listed


incorrectly.
In the following list, which price is not the same value as the
other three?
A. 153

B. $1.53

C. $153

D. 153

E. 1.53

Price C is not the same. Price C represents one hundred fifty-three dollars.
Prices A, B, D and E all represent one dollar and fifty-three cents.

Mentally Calculating the Bill


EXAMPLE

Luis, Marcus, and Juan all have dinner at the Pizza Restaurant.
The bill comes to $30, which they decide to split 3 ways. They
also decide to give a 15% tip to the server. Find the tip and the
amount due from each diner.

Step 1 Find the tip and


add it to the bill.

Step 2 Divide by the number of diners.


Round to the nearest 10 cents.

$30  10%  $3
$3  2 
1.50

$4.50

$34.50  3 = $11.50

$30 + $4.50  $34.50


Each person will pay $11.50.

Directions Find the 15% tip for each bill. Add the tip to the bill to get
the total bill. Then divide by the number of diners to find out how much
each person will pay.

Exercise and Calories


EXAMPLE

The number of calories a person spends doing a particular activity depends on


their body weight. For example, a 150-pound person who rides a bicycle 6 miles
per hour (mph) burns about 240 calories. A 100-pound person burns 13 fewer
calories. A 200-pound person burns 13 more calories.
Find the average number of calories burned by a 100-pound person and a
200-pound person who ride bikes at 6 mph for one hour. Round your answer
to the nearest calorie.
A 100-pound person burns fewer calories than a 150-pound person.

Think:

3

fewer is about 33% fewer than 240 calories. Multiply by 100% minus 33%,
or 67%

240 calories per hour x 67% = 240 x 0.67 = 160.8 = 161 calories per hour

EXAMPLE

Arlene is working in the machine shop and needs both hands to


do her work. She tries to do as much mental math as she can to
keep her hands free from using a calculator. Help her determine
which of the following problems is a calculator problem and
which is a good mental math problem.

Problem 1 50% of 40


Problem 2 16% of 5.743
This is a good mental math problem.
This is a good calculator problem.
First recall that 50% means 50  100.
Multiply 5 times 40. That equals 200.
Then divide 200 by 100. That equals 2.
50% of 40 is 20

Directions Determine if these are better mental math problems or


calculator problems. If it is a mental math problem, solve it. If it is
better performed on a calculator, do not solve it. Round to the
nearest cent.
