3. 1% Divide by 100 ©Mathematics Education Centre, Loughborough University

4. 10% ÷ 10 1 10 = 1 ©Mathematics Education Centre, Loughborough University

5. 10% Divide by 10 ©Mathematics Education Centre, Loughborough University

6. 3% of 120 3% = 1% of 120= 1.2 3% of 120 = 1.2 + 1.2 + 1.2 = 3.6 Divide by 100 1%1%+ 1% ©Mathematics Education Centre, Loughborough University
