1. **Stating the problem:** We want to find a percentage of an amount using equivalent fractions and division.
2. **Formula and rule:** To find $p\%$ of an amount $A$, convert the percentage to a fraction $\frac{p}{100}$ and multiply: $$\text{Percentage of amount} = \frac{p}{100} \times A$$
Since some percentages correspond to simple fractions, we can divide the amount by the denominator of the fraction.
3. **Equivalent fractions given:**
- 50% = $\frac{1}{2}$ so divide by 2
- 25% = $\frac{1}{4}$ so divide by 4
- 20% = $\frac{1}{5}$ so divide by 5
- 10% = $\frac{1}{10}$ so divide by 10
- 1% = $\frac{1}{100}$ so divide by 100
4. **Calculations using bar models:**
(a) 50% of 824:
$$50\% = \frac{1}{2}$$
Divide 824 by 2:
$$\frac{824}{2} = 412$$
So, 50% of 824 is 412.
(b) 25% of 1480:
$$25\% = \frac{1}{4}$$
Divide 1480 by 4:
$$\frac{1480}{4} = 370$$
So, 25% of 1480 is 370.
(c) 10% of 4560:
$$10\% = \frac{1}{10}$$
Divide 4560 by 10:
$$\frac{4560}{10} = 456$$
So, 10% of 4560 is 456.
5. **Calculations without bar models:**
(a) 50% of 2870:
$$50\% = \frac{1}{2}$$
Divide 2870 by 2:
$$\frac{2870}{2} = 1435$$
So, 50% of 2870 is 1435.
(b) 20% of 3640:
$$20\% = \frac{1}{5}$$
Divide 3640 by 5:
$$\frac{3640}{5} = 728$$
So, 20% of 3640 is 728.
(c) 1% of 1900:
$$1\% = \frac{1}{100}$$
Divide 1900 by 100:
$$\frac{1900}{100} = 19$$
So, 1% of 1900 is 19.
