Learn percentage questions before taking the quiz
A percentage describes a quantity out of 100. To find 12% of 250, calculate 250 × 12 ÷ 100 = 30. A multiple-choice option of 12 or 25 might reflect confusing the rate with the amount, so always check the units in the question.
For a 20% discount on 80, first calculate the discount: 80 × 0.20 = 16. Subtract it from the original price to get a final price of 64. For a percentage increase, add the calculated change instead. A decrease followed by the same percentage increase does not generally return to the original value because the starting amounts differ.
Reverse percentages work backward from a final amount. If an amount rose by 15% to become 230, the original amount was 230 ÷ 1.15 = 200. Do not simply subtract 15% of the final amount: that percentage is being applied to a different base.
During the quiz, read whether the question asks for the percentage, the change, the final amount or the original amount. After each round, use the Add or Subtract Percentage Calculator to check your own examples, or open the Percentage Calculator for other percentage relationships.
