Understand percentage is ‘number of parts per hundred’. Calculate a percentage of a quantity, and express one quantity as a percentage of another, with or without a calculator. Increase or decrease a quantity by a simple percentage, including simple decimal or fractional multipliers. Apply this to simple original value problems and simple interest. Express percentage change as a decimal or fractional multiplier. Apply this to percentage change problems (including original value problems). |
