Percentage: the Hundred Parts Story
A short read for Class 5 before you play. These notes are written for this page.
💯 A whole in a hundred parts
Cut any whole into 100 equal parts. Each part is one percent, written 1%. Taking 40 of those parts gives 40%.
🥧 Halves and quarters
Half of the whole is 50% and a quarter is 25%. Three quarters make 75%, and the full circle is 100%.
🔗 Three names
One amount can be a fraction, a decimal or a percentage. Half is 1/2, 0.5 and 50%.
📝 Marks and scores
To compare scores out of different totals, we change them to percentages out of 100.

In a sale a shop takes a percentage off the price. Finding that percentage of the price tells us the saving.
