- 2Converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages
- 3Finding a percent of a number (multiply by decimal form)
- 4Percent increase and decrease calculations
- 5Finding what percent one number is of another
- 6Working with percentages greater than 100%
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- •Confusing % increase vs new total
- •Moving decimal wrong way when converting

✨ Expert Study Tips
To find 10%, move decimal one place left
To find 50%, divide by 2
