Percent+Web+Quest


 * Percentages…What Do I Do With Them? **




 * Introduction **

I bet you are thinking, “Ms. Muhammad, what is a percentage and why do I care?” Percentages are used in every day life. Your grades are percentages; for example, you must get at least 70% to pass a test. If there is a sale on video games, you might want to know percentages to figure out how much money you can save. Sports are full of percentages. You probably already know more than you think you know. Fractions, decimals and percents are all related and work together as you will soon see. In this web quest, you will learn about percents, interest and you will also learn the difference between paying for things in cash, getting a loan and using rent-to-own stores.


 * Task **
