Level 5-6 Numbers - Percentages - Parts

A percentage is like a special kind of fraction in KS3 Maths. When you spot the percentage sign (%), it means you're dealing with hundredths. Being confident with percentages is important, and this quiz is here to help you understand the parts of whole numbers represented by percentages.

A percentage is a fraction with a denominator of 100. So, 44% is the same as 44100, and 130% is 130100. Percentages pop up a lot in daily life, making things much easier when you get the hang of them!
