Solve Problems Involving Rates

TEKS Math: 7.4.D

(D) Solve problems involving ratios, rates, and percents, including multi-step problems involving percent increase and percent decrease, and financial literacy problems

CCSS Math: 7.RP.3

7.RP.3 Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on solving problems involving rates. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem and identify the known rate and any information about the unknown rate. Then, they set up a proportion using the known rate and the unknown rate. Finally, they solve for the unknown quantity by cross-multiplying and solving the equation, and then interpret the solution in a complete sentence. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
