What's on this sheet

One skill turns a decimal into a percent (0.45 is 45%) and back again; another finds a percent of a number, chosen so the answer is always whole (25% of 80 is 20). Because percents, decimals, and fractions are three views of one value, this sheet completes the trio a child has been building since fractions.

Why this sheet works

Percent is everywhere money is — discounts, tips, test scores — so it earns its place.

How this one works

One question from this sheet, worked through a step at a time.

0.26 as a percentage

0.26=26/100
26%
  1. Percent means "out of a hundred", so the question is really: how many hundredths is 0.26? It is 26 of them.
  2. 26 out of a hundred is written 26%.
