Many every day financial transactions involve percentages: discounts at sales, taxes on goods or services that you buy (or sell), any money that you save will earn a [measly] percentage interest, any money that you borrow will cost a huge percentage interest, your tax rates will be percentages, your pay rise (if any) will probably be a percentage.

It is possible to remain ignorant of percentages and be taken for a ride in any of the above situations or you can wise up. Your choice!
