Percents: Large and Small

Topics for Today:

Today we reviewed what percents are - percents are ratios that compare a number to 100.  Percents can be large (bigger than 100%) and very small (less than 1%).  We handle these large and small percentages the exact same way we do other percents, and we can convert among fractions, decimals, and percents by using the strategies we've discussed.
