What are percentages?

Answer 1

A percentage is a part of a number.

If you take 100, for instance, you could say: "Find 10 percent (Otherwise written as 10%) of 100."

To find 10% of 100, you simply divide it by ten, which is 10.

You do that with every number, as long as you want to find 10%.

To find 50%, you just half the number, easy peasy!

To find 5%, you just find 10%, and then you just half it.

It all sounds very complicated, but, really, it's really easy when you get the knack of it.

Well, I think a percentage is a number, but it always is out of 100, okay?
