Worksheet Overview

This activity is about finding a percentage of a number.

 

It is easy to find 10% of a number. You just divide the number by 10 because 10% is one tenth.

You should also know that 50% is a half, 25% is a quarter and 75% is three-quarters.

 


Example 1

Find 75% of 340

 

Answer

75% is ¾

Work out ¼ of 340 = 340 ÷ 4 = 85

Multiply by 3 to find ¾ of 340 = 85 × 3 = 255
