If you had $10.00 and you bought a magazine for $5.00, what would be the percentage of the $10.00 that you would have to spend? In addition, simplify that percentage in fraction form. Do you remember problems like that? It went beyond your simple, basic addition and subtraction problems because now you were being asked to first find what the percentage was and then to determine and simplify the fraction. There were several ways to do that and one way was to put 5 over 10 as follows (see below).
