Overview

Percentages are a way to show how much one number is out of another number, using 100 as the whole. For example, if you score 25 out of 100 on a test, you have 25%. Percentages help us understand parts of a whole in everyday situations, like shopping discounts or grades in school. Learning about percentages is important for making smart choices with money and understanding different situations better.
