Math Skillz- Finding A Percentage Of A Number

Our group have been learning finding the percentages of a number and we have learnt what to do.

The of the questions are:

12% of 80                       120% of 46

27% of 64                       138% of 57

82% of 205                     270% of 80


12% of 80 is 9.6             120% of 46 is 55.2

27% of 64 is 17.28          138% of 57 is 78.66

82% of 205 is 168.1          270 of 80 is 216


Basically its the percentage takeaway the number like 64% of 90 is 57.6 because its 64 x 0.90 = 57.6. But if you have a question like 48% of 291 = 48 x 2.91 which is 139.68 so it's actually really easy.
