How Do Percentages Work?
Percentages work by taking an amount and finding its value out of 100. If I want to work out twenty five per cent of 12 pounds for example, I work out one quarter because 25 percent is the same as 1/4 - which converts to one quarter - fractions worksheets, or 0.25 - decimals worksheets.
