Thinking Skill
Thinking Skill is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 48: Percent of a Whole in Saxon Math, Course 3.
Key Concepts
Property The whole is always 100%. Therefore, the different parts must add up to the total. For example, the percent of questions answered correctly and the percent answered incorrectly must add up to 100%.
Examples If a player makes 80% of her free throws, she misses $100\% 80\% = 20\%$ of them. If 56% of voters chose Candidate A, then $100\% 56\% = 44\%$ of voters chose someone else.
Explanation Think of 100% as a full pizza. If you know you ate 75% of it, you automatically know 25% is left. It works the same with any percentage problem! Knowing the 'yes' part instantly tells you the 'no' part because they both must add up to the whole 100%.
