Develop a foundation in percentages by converting among percent, decimal, and fraction forms. Learn to find a part, a rate, or a whole and choose the correct base for each calculation.
Apply these skills to discounts, taxes, tips, markups, savings, loans, credit, and multi-step financial decisions. Compare simple and compound interest and work backward from percentage changes.
Interpret percentages in polls, charts, reports, and headlines. Distinguish percentage-point differences from percent change, identify missing context, and assess whether claims are supported by the data.
