Structured Guided Practice
Directions: Solve using a percent bar.
Juan was given 80 dollars to buy tickets to a baseball game. He used 75% of the money.
How much did he spend on the tickets?
Place 80 dollars at the end of the
percent bar because that is 100%
of the money he has.

0 20 40 60 80
Since this percent bar is divided into 4 equal parts,
divide 80 by 4 to find how many each part equals.
In this case each part is worth $20.
