Percent
Percentage calculations: part, whole and rate
Find a part, a whole or a percentage in ten configurable problems. Choose five equation forms, whole or decimal operands, word prompts and 1–3 decimal places.

Start with what the learner can explain
Begin after equivalent fractions and decimal hundredths are familiar. These starting points use general English grade labels; countries and schools introduce percentages at different stages.
Connect familiar fractions to percents
Use after equivalent fractions and hundredths are secure. Complete one missing representation in each of twelve rows.

Open this focused practice →Percent means per hundred
25% is 25/100, which simplifies to 1/4 and equals 0.25. A percent describes a relationship to a whole; that whole does not need to contain exactly one hundred objects.
For example, 25% of a class of 24 students is 6 students. One quarter of 24 and 0.25 ×24 both express the same calculation.
Three unknowns, one relationship
The relationship is part = decimal rate × whole. Identify the missing quantity before choosing an operation.
Find the part
What is 20% of 80?
0.20 ×80 =16.
Find the whole
16 is 20% of what number?
16 ÷0.20 =80.
Find the percent
16 is what percent of 80?
16 ÷80 ×100 =20%.
The calculation generator offers five numeric forms because parts and wholes can be practiced with either percent notation or decimal-rate notation. Word prompts help students choose a method from the meaning of the question.
Exact values and approximations have different jobs
One-third has a recurring decimal and an exact percent of 33 1/3%. Writing 33% gives an approximation. Truncating two-thirds to a whole percent gives 66%; rounding it gives 67%.
The common-percent chart offers both methods and labels approximations. When an approximate row has missing cells, its exact fraction remains visible so the task has a clear starting value.
Conversion practice uses terminating values and asks for exact answers. The calculation sheet instead specifies one, two or three decimal places. Read that instruction before rounding.
Small percentages, clear multipliers
10% means multiply by 0.1, 1% means multiply by 0.01, and 0.1% means multiply by 0.001. By contrast, 100% keeps the original quantity and 1000% multiplies it by ten.
Use powers-of-ten practice to predict the size of an answer before calculating. A result for 0.1% should be much smaller than the starting positive amount.
