This week we are learning about Finding Funky Fractions, Dominant Decimals  & Pristine Percentages Of Given Amounts.

What Is It?

Finding Fractions, Decimals & Percentages Of Given Amounts is finding that fraction, decimal or percentage of a number.

How To Work It Out

Percentage:

75% of 28?

First you work out 50%(half) of 28.

Which is 14.

Now you work out the last 25% of 75.

So find 10% of 28 which is 2.8 and multiply it by 2 to make 20%.

Which is 5.6.

Now you have to work out 5%.

So halve 10%(2.8) which is 1.4.

Now add the three numbers together.

14

      5.6

      1.4

---------

   21.0

Decimal:

0.6 of 80?

First you change the decimal to a percentage which is 60%. 

Then find 10% of 80 which is 8 then multiply 8 by 6 to make 80%.

So your answer is 48!

Fraction:

2/7 of 35?

First you divide your number (in our case it is 35) by the denominator which is 7.

35 divided by 7 = 5

Multiply your answer by 2 because it is 2/7 which makes your answer 10!

Examples For You To Work Out:

1. 65% of 75 = ?

2. 5/10 of 24 = ?

3. 0.125 of 48 = ?

4. 3/5 of 72 = ?

5. 55% of 62 =?

6. 0.2 of 35 = ?
