1.109 Percentages

To find 50% of a number, find half of that number.
To find 25% of a number, find one quarter of that number.
To find 10% of a number, divide the number by ten.

Examples:
50% of 50 is 25
50% of 60 is 30
50% of 200 is 100
50% of 12 is 6
25% of 40 is 10
25% of 16 is 4
25% of 100 is 25
25% of 240 is 60
10% of 10 is 1
10% of 20 is 2
10% of 30 is 3
10% of 100 is 10

Note the following relationships between percentages and fractions:
100% = 1 whole
50% = 1/2 = one half
25% = 1/4 = one quarter
10% = 1/10

You can use the above facts to solve problems involving other percentages.
Examples:
Since 10% of 120 is 12, 30% of 120 is 3 x 12 (3 times 12) = 36
Since 25% of 100 is 25, then 75% of 100 is 3 x 25 (3 times 25) = 75
