BENCHMARK PERCENTAGES

WE HAVE LEARNING TO CALCULATE PERCENTAGES OF WHOLE NUMBER AMOUNTS USING BENCHMARK PERCENTAGES:

There are 180 students at Jamie’s school. 30% of them went camping

How many went on camp? 180 / 10 = 18 x 3= 54

Devon’s family went out for dinner. The cost of the meal was $140. They gave a 15% tip.
How much did they tip?  140 / 10 = 14 halved = 7 + 14= 21

(These were 2 of some I worked out)
