By the end of this lesson, you'll solve:

"A shirt originally costs Rs 800. The shop says "25% off!" How much do you actually pay?"

What Does Percentage Mean?

Picture this: Your phone battery shows 70% -- that means 70 out of 100 parts are charged. Percentage just means "out of 100."

Key Points

  • 1
    "Percent" = out of 100
  • 2
    25% means 25 out of 100
  • 3
    Formula: (Part / Whole) x 100

Pro Tip

Any percentage is a fraction over 100. So 25% = 25/100 = 1/4.
