Percentage often relates to comparisons, like efficiency, profit, or assignments completion.

Common Uses

Percentage expresses an exact quantity in a vague setting. The exact figure may not be known.

Quantitative Precision

Percentages can represent both whole numbers and fractions. Think beyond just 1%-100%.

Not Always Whole

In finance, percentages often refer to rates such as interest, investment returns, or tax rates.

Financial Context

Percentage points highlight the difference between two percentages, not to be confused with percent.

Percentage Points

Avoid confusion: a 10% increase followed by a 10% decrease doesn't return to the original value.

Accumulation Misconception

Percentages are often represented visually in graphs, charts, or pie diagrams for clarity.

Visual Representation

Converting Fractions
