Using Percentages PDF Print E-mail

Can you work out how much you will save if you get 20% off that new computer? Or how much better off you'll be if you get a 4% pay rise? Using Percentages helps you to get to grips with fractions, ratios and percentages.

A short, simple quiz before you start the course helps you to choose the right level of learning for you. Then take a look at the online magazine, "100% Learning". The magazine is packed with articles that show you how to work out percentages when you are shopping, going on holiday or even visiting your doctor. The "See How It's Done" sections show you how the percentage has been worked out. Then, once you are confident, you can do a "Try It Out" quiz to check that you have understood the maths.
