Okay, guys. What can you remember about

percentages?

Now you can try some heavy stuff by

working out these percentages!
Use the squares to help you calculate,
especially when they get harder.

1.
a) 25% of 60 = b) 30% of 500 =

c) 37% of £45 = d) 18% of 56 m =

e) 98% of 560 = f) 46% of £23.50 =

Hi again. Some more percentages, but for

some you will need to do more than one
calculation to work out the answers.

Take care to work out what order to do

the calculations and use the squares
below to help you record and answer
each question.

1.
a) 10% of 50 – 40% of 60 = b) 38% of 90 + 25% of 76 =

c) (45% of £32) × 12 = d) 19% of 200 + 80% of 65 =

e) 250% of 5 m = f) 400% of 70 kg =

In these questions you need to show

which quantity is larger.
Not as easy as it sounds!

Show all your working out in the

squares below and you may get a mark,
even if your final answer is incorrect.

1.
a) 80% of 30 or 20% of 110 b) 16% of 400 or 40% of 15

c) 67 ÷ 20 or 5% of 70 d) 10% of 65 or 65% of 10

Fractions and decimal fractions.

Remember it is easy to change fractions into decimal fractions using a

calculator.

This can also be done with fractions with thousandths.

1
means 1 divided by 1000 or 1 ÷ 1000
1000

Do this on a calculator: enter 1 ÷ 1 000 =

The answer 0.001 will come up.

1
This means that is the same as 0.001 (one thousandth)
1000

In the same way, using a calculator, find the decimal fraction for these
fractions. Complete all parts of the table below.

Using a calculator to decide size of fractions

When faced with fractions with different denominators ( bottom

numbers) it is often difficult to tell which is the larger fraction.

If the fractions are treated as division sums, then it is easy to use a

calculator to work out which is the larger.

3 18
For example: which is larger; or
4 25

3 18 3 18
is 0.75 whilst is 0.72 so is larger than
4 25 4 25

Work out which is the larger fraction in each of these pairs of fractions:

5 67 13 383
1. or 2. or
9 100 45 999

56 8 12 7
3. or 4. or
60 9 1000 500

17 14 7 56
5. or 6. or
120 101 60 200

Use your calculator to place these fractions in order of size (smallest

first) :

3 4 43 21 467
7.
8 9 90 50 900

9 3 28 179 143
8.
20 7 40 350 300

6 517 27 353
1. or 2. or

27 13 9 42
5. or 6. or
