In this title you'll learn about percentages. However, you probably know more about them already than you realize. We are surrounded by percentages in everyday life, whether it's in the news, in television adverts, in banks, shop sales or even the voting in television talent shows. But what does percentage actually mean? Well, quite literally it means out of 100, or parts per 100. So if you were to read that 75% of people in the UK own a computer, this means that 75 people out of every 100 own one. This also helps to demonstrate the relationship between percentages and fractions. 75% is simply the fraction 75 over 100. We can simplify this to three quarters by dividing the numerator and denominator, or the top and bottom, of the fraction by 25.
