Amounts as a %

• Fat in a mars bar 28g out of 35g. What

percentage is this?

Write as a fraction top ÷ bottom

converts a
fraction to a
• =28/35 decimal

Convert to a percentage (top ÷ bottom x 100)

• 28 ÷ 35 x 100 = 80% Multiply by 100

to make a
decimal into a
percentage
 A percentage is a
fraction out of 100

Altogether there are 30 students in the class.

How many boys are there?

The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:2

Altogether there are 30 students in the class.

How many boys are there?

The ratio 3:2 represents 5 parts (add 3 + 2)

Divide 30 students by the 5 parts (divide)

30 ÷ 5 = 6

Multiply the relevant part of the ratio by the

answer (multiply)
3 × 6 = 18 boys
