The % sign 🧩

Per cent means “out of 100”. Think of 100 little squares. 50% means 50 of the 100 squares are coloured.

0%

Drag the slider. Watch the squares fill up!

🎯 Challenge: can you slide it to show exactly 50% (half)?

Easy trick: 10% 🔟

10% means 1 out of every 10. To find 10% of a price, just divide by 10 (move the dot one step left).

10% of $80 = ?

👉 Tap me: 10% means “1 out of 10”.
👉 So divide $80 by 10…
✅ $80 ÷ 10 = $8. That's 10%!

Tap the steps in order to reveal the answer.

🎯 Your turn: What is 10% of $50?

What is a discount? 🏷️

A discount is money taken off the price. “25% off” means you don't pay the full price — you save a part of it.

Sale price = full price − discount
