Equivalent fractions - Two fractions are equivalent if they have the same value.
When finding 10% we divide by 10, so when finding 5% we divide by 5.
Use a bar model to show the division of 10 means one tenth of the amount. When dividing by 5 it means one fifth has been found.
10% of 50 - 5
10% of 80 - 8
5% of 50 - 2.5
15% of 50 - 7.5
15% of 60 - 9
5% of 60 - 3


Work out 40% of 800 - 800 ÷ 10 × 4
Work out 50% of 800 - 800 ÷ 2
Work out 15% of 800 - 80 + 40
Work out 30% of 800 - 800 ÷ 10 × 3
Work out 25% of 800 - 800 ÷ 4
Work out 99% of 800 - 800 − 8
