Percentages 2 (Medium)
This is the second of our medium level Eleven Plus maths quizzes on Percentages. If you have already played the first, then you will know that percentages are a way of representing parts of numbers, just like fractions or decimals. The difference is that, in percentages, the parts of numbers are shown as parts of one hundred.
To help you visualise, here are some fractions represented as decimals and as percentages:
- 1⁄2 = 0.5 = 50%
- 1⁄4 = 0.25 = 25%
- 1⁄3 = 0.333 = 33.3%
As you can see, percentages are very similar to decimals. The only difference is where the decimal point is placed.
Now it’s time to work some percentages out for yourself. When you can get all the answers right, why not move on to the next quiz? You’ll soon be a whizz with percentages.
Next, you add this amount to Sandra’s pocket money: 7.5 + 1.125 = 8.625.
Don’t forget to convert your answer back into pounds and pence. In this case, you will have to round your answer up to £8.63
70% of 30 = (70 ÷ 100) x 30 = (70 x 30) ÷ 100 = 21
To work out how much the car is now worth, simply subtract 6,720 from 28,000:
28,000 – 6,720 = 21,280. Don’t forget to convert your answer back into pounds: £21,280
To work out Susan’s height now, simply add 6.9 to 138:
138 cm + 6.9 cm = 144.9 cm
Of course, you know that 1% of 100 = 1
