Percentages of an amount %%

I know some of you have been enjoying the maths activities on the blog so here are some more.

I have written down an explanation to try and help you understand the work so try and imagine my voice saying it as if I was standing in the classroom teaching you it

(I wish I was 😳❀️)

Remember, when dealing with percentages, it might be easier for you to think of the fraction that is equal to the percentage. So if you’re being asked to find 10% of Β£100, remember 10% is equal to 1/10 (one over ten or one tenth), so you need to divide the amount (Β£100) by 10. Then, you know 100 divided by 10 is 10 so the answer is Β£10.

That looks very confusing but read it a few times and you’ll get it. I’ve written it here too which might be easier to understand.

Try the questions if you want some maths work today. Leave me a comment here and let me know how you got on and if you need any help. Remember, you can do this work because you’re a genius so don’t be asking the adults in your house to help.Β
