This ratios and proportional relationships lesson covers how to solve multistep percent problems using proportions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students determine what the question is asking, and then the corresponding percent and quantity by drawing a diagram. Then, they set up a proportion for the percent and quantity, cross multiply, and solve for the unknown quantity. Finally, they interpret the solution, identifying whether it was a percent increase (tax, tip, or markup) or a percent decrease (sale, discount, or coupon).
