Common percentage tips to always remember - enhancing fast percent calculation skills
As we know, Percentage is a very handy way of writing fractions, but frequently used than mere fractions, especially when comparing values, quantity changes etc. For this reason, it is necessary for kids to master common percentage tips to always remember – enhancing fast percent calculation skills. They include;
- 50 percent means half – given that half = ½, then calculating 50% of a number will simply mean that you should divide that number by 2.
e.g. 50% of 60 will mean 60 ÷ 2. - 25 percent means one fourth – one fourth = ¼, then calculating 25% of a number will simply mean that you should divide that number by 4.
e.g. 25% of 60 will mean 60 ÷ 4. - 10 percent means one tenth – one tenth = 1/10, then calculating 10% of a number will simply mean that you should divide that number by 10.
e.g. 10% of 60 will mean 60 ÷ 10. - 5 percentis one half of 10 percent. To calculate 5%of a number, simply divide 10 percent of that number by 2.
e.g. 5 percent of 60 will mean (10% of 60 is 6, so we’ll divide 6 by 2) 6 ÷ 2
The above tricks are equally helpful when calculating any other percentage of a number. For instance if you are calculating 20% of 60, simply break the 20% to 10 and 10. When you get your two results, i.e. 10% of 60 and 10% of 60, you van then sum them up →6 + 6 = 12. So, 20% of 60 = 12.
