Basic Math

What is a Percentage?

The word percent means “out of 100.”

The symbol for percent is:

%

Example:

50%

This means:
50 out of 100

Percentages help us compare quantities quickly and easily.

Understanding Percentages

A percentage tells us how much of a whole we have when the whole is divided into 100 equal parts.

Examples:

Percentage Meaning
100% The whole amount
50% Half
25% One quarter
75% Three quarters

Percentages, Fractions, and Decimals

Percentages are connected to fractions and decimals.

Percentage Fraction Decimal
50% 1/2 0.5
25% 1/4 0.25
75% 3/4 0.75
10% 1/10 0.1

Understanding these connections helps students move between different forms of numbers.

Converting Percentages to Decimals

To convert a percentage into a decimal:

  • divide by 100
  • move the decimal point two places to the left

Examples:

50% = 0.50 = 0.5

25% = 0.25

80% = 0.80 = 0.8

Converting Percentages to Fractions

Write the percentage over 100 and simplify if possible.

Examples:

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

75% = 75/100 = 3/4

Finding Percentages of Numbers

To find a percentage of a number:

  1. Change the percentage to a decimal
  2. Multiply

Example:

50% of 20

= 0.5 × 20
= 10

Answer: 10

Real-Life Uses of Percentages

Percentages are used in many areas of life:

Situation Example
Shopping 20% discount
School Test scores
Sports Winning percentages
Banking Interest rates
Technology Battery percentage
Weather Chance of rain

Understanding Discounts

Stores often use percentages to advertise sales.

Example:

A shirt costs $40.
There is a 25% discount.

25% of $40:
= 0.25 × 40
= 10

Discount = $10

New price:
$40 − $10 = $30
