    Percentages of an Amount

    Example: Find 12% of 200.

    Method 1:
    Find 10% (divide 200 by 10), find 1% (divide 200 by 100) and add together

    10% + 1% + 1% (20 + 2 + 2 = 24).

    12% of 200 is 24.

    Method 2:
    A smarter way to find 12% of 200 is to multiply by the decimal equivalent of 12%.
    This involves only 1 step, and so it is less likely that you’ll make a mistake.

    Decimal equivalent of 12% = 0.12

    200 x 0.12 = 24

    3. 40% of 250 8. 54% of 250 13. 82% of 62
    4. 90% of 900 9. 72% of 650 14. 3% of 99
    5. 75% of 300 10. 99% of 780 15. 0.1% of 76
