• A percentage may be written as an equivalent fraction and decimal
|Percentages |Fraction |Decimal |
|1% |[pic] |0∙ 01 |

To calculate 7% of £160
1% of £160

= £1.60
Then 7% of £160 = 7 × £1.60 = £11.20
To calculate 40% of £48
10% of £48

denominator
numerator
Calculate
[pic] of 33g
= 33g ÷ 3
= 11g
So 11g × 2
= 22g
Calculate
[pic] of £200
= £250 ÷ 5
