Percentages - MyMaths

Mymaths can be used to help you brush up on percentages.

Click on the title above. Log into Mymaths. Select Number. Then Percentages. There are 4 sections. You do not need to do 'Compound Interest'

All of the questions are like 'Find 25% of £280'

In this type you should not need a calculator. 50% is £140 so 25% is £70.

Using a calculator it would be 0.25x£280. You should get the same answer.
[25% means 25/100 which is the same as 0.25]

As the numbers get more difficult use your calculator.
