Course Description

Percentages and Goals

Percentages are everywhere — sale signs, discounts, and tipping all use them. Class 6 teaches you to find 10%, 25%, and 50% of any amount quickly, check whether you have enough for everything in your basket, and set a savings goal with a real finish date.

What you'll learn

  • Find 10% of any dollar amount instantly by dividing by 10
  • Use 10% to build 5%, 15%, 20%, and other common percentages
  • Calculate 25% and 50% discounts and find the sale price
  • Check whether a total bill is within a budget before paying
  • Open a savings account and understand how interest makes your money grow
  • Set a savings goal and calculate how many weeks it will take to reach it
