Writing percentages as decimals 46 0.2 7 100 100 100 130 100 We can write percentages as decimals by dividing by 100. For example, = 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46 46% = = 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07 7% = = 130 ÷ 100 = 1.3 130% = = 0.2 ÷ 100 = 0.002 0.2% =
Writing fractions as percentages × 5 85 17 = = 100 20 × 5 × 4 7 32 128 1 = = = 25 25 100 × 4 To write a fraction as a percentage, we can find an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100. For example, 85 and 85% 100 128 and 128% 100
Writing fractions as percentages 3 3 1 = × 100% 2 8 8 3 × 100% = 8 75% = 2 37 % = To write a fraction as a percentage you can also multiply it by 100%. For example, 25 2
Writing decimals as percentages To write a decimal as a percentage you can multiply it by 100%. For example, 0.08 = 0.08 × 100% 1.375 = 1.375 × 100% = 8% = 137.5%
Using a calculator 5 = 5 4 = = 16 7 8 1 13 = 8 We can also convert fractions to decimals and percentages using a calculator. For example, = 31.25% 5 ÷ 16 × 100% = 57.14% (to 2 d.p.) 4 ÷ 7 × 100% 13 ÷ 8 × 100% = 162.5%

Calculating percentages using fractions × 90 16 100 16 × 90 = 100 72 = 5 2 14 = 5 Remember, a percentage is a fraction out of 100. 16% of 90, means “16 hundredths of 90” or 4 18 25 5
Calculating percentages using fractions What is 23% of 57? × 57 23 11 100 100 23 × 57 = 100 1311 = 100 13 = We can use fractions: Working × 20 3 23% of 57 = 50 1000 150 1150 7 140 21 + 161 1 3 1 1 1
Calculating percentages using fractions What is 87% of 28? × 28 87 100 87 × 28 = 100 609 = 25 9 24 = 25 Using fractions again: Working 87% of 28 = 87 7 × 7 60 9 25 4
Calculating percentages using decimals What is 4% of 9? We can also calculate percentages using an equivalent decimal operator. 4% of 9 = 0.04 × 9 = 4 × 9 ÷ 100 = 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36

Estimating percentages We can find more difficult percentages using a calculator. It is always sensible when using a calculator to start by making an estimate. For example, estimate the value of: 19% of £82 20% of £80 = £16 27% of 38m 25% of 40m = 10m 73% of 159g 75% of 160g = 120g
Using a calculator 0 . 3 8 × 6 5 = By writing a percentage as a decimal, we can work out a percentage using a calculator. Suppose we want to work out 38% of £65. 38% = 0.38 So we key in: And get an answer of 24.7 We write the answer as £24.70
Using a calculator 57 100 5 7 ÷ 1 0 0 × 8 = 0 We can also work out a percentage using a calculator by converting the percentage to a fraction. Suppose we want to work out 57% of £80. 57% = = 57 ÷ 100 So we key in: And get an answer of 45.6 We write the answer as £45.60
Using a calculator 0 . 5 9 × 3 7 . = 5 We can also work out percentage on a calculator by finding 1% first and multiplying by the required percentage. Suppose we want to work out 37.5% of £59. 1% of £59 is £0.59 so, 37.5% of £59 is £0.59 × 37.5. We key in: And get an answer of 22.125 We write the answer as £22.13 (to the nearest penny).

One number as a percentage of another 3 7 4 4 35 35 80% = 4 × 100% 11 % 7 = × 100% = 35 There are 35 sweets in a bag. Four of the sweets are orange flavour. What percentage of sweets are orange flavour? Start by writing the proportion of orange sweets as a fraction. 4 out of 35 = Then convert the fraction to a percentage. 20 7
One number as a percentage of another = 80 1 1 3200 40 40 100% 40 Petra put £32 into a bank account. After one year she received 80p interest. What percentage interest rate did she receive? To write 80p out of £32 as a fraction we must use the same units. In pence, Petra gained 80p out of 3200p. We then convert the fraction to a percentage. 5 × 100% = = 2.5% 2
Using percentages to compare proportions Matthew sat tests in English, Maths and Science. His results were: English Maths Science 74 17 66 80 20 70 Which test did he do best in? To compare the marks we can write each fraction as a percentage.
Using percentages to compare proportions 74 66 74 66 17 17 70 70 20 20 80 80 English = × 100% = 74 ÷ 80 × 100% = 92.5% Maths = × 100% = 17 ÷ 20 × 100% = 85% Science = × 100% = 66 ÷ 70 × 100% = 94.3% (to 1 d.p.) We can see that Matthew did best in his Science test.

Percentage increase To increase an amount by a 20%, for example, we can find 20% of the amount and then add it on to the original amount. We can represent the original amount as 100% like this: 100% 20% When we add on 20%, we have 120% of the original amount. Finding 120% of the original amount is equivalent to finding 20% and adding it on.
Percentage increase For example, Increase £50 by 60%. 160% × £50 = 1.6 × £50 = £80 Increase £20 by 35% 135% × £20 = 1.35 × £20 = £27
Percentage increase What happens if we increase an amount by 100%? We take the original amount and we add on 100%. 100% 100% We now have 200% of the original amount. This is equivalent to 2 times the original amount.
