[
\text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \times 100
]

Examples

  • 25% means 25 out of 100
  • 50% means 50 out of 100
  • 100% means whole

3. Converting Fractions into Percentages

Rule

[
\text{Fraction} \rightarrow \text{Multiply by } 100
]

Examples

  1. (\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 = 50%)
  2. (\frac{3}{4} = 75%)
  3. (\frac{1}{5} = 20%)

4. Converting Percentages into Fractions

Rule

[
x% = \frac{x}{100}
]

Examples

  • 25% = (\frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4})
  • 40% = (\frac{40}{100} = \frac{2}{5})

5. Converting Percentages into Decimals

Rule

👉 Divide by 100

Examples

  • 10% = 0.10
  • 25% = 0.25
  • 75% = 0.75

6. Converting Decimals into Percentages

7. Finding Percentage of a Quantity

Formula

[
x% \text{ of } y = \frac{x}{100} \times y
]

Example 1

Find 20% of 150.

Solution:
[
\frac{20}{100} \times 150 = 30
]

Example 2

Find 12.5% of 80.

Solution:
[
12.5% = \frac{1}{8}
]

[
\frac{1}{8} \times 80 = 10
]

8. Finding the Whole when Percentage is Given

Formula

[
\text{Whole} = \frac{\text{Part} \times 100}{\text{Percentage}}
]

Example

40% of a number is 80. Find the number.

Solution:
[
\text{Number} = \frac{80 \times 100}{40} = 200
]

9. Increase and Decrease in Percentage

Percentage Increase

[
\text{Increase %} = \frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original value}} \times 100
]

Percentage Decrease

[
\text{Decrease %} = \frac{\text{Decrease}}{\text{Original value}} \times 100
]

Example (Increase)

Price of a pen increases from ₹20 to ₹25.

Increase = 5

[
\text{Increase %} = \frac{5}{20} \times 100 = 25%
]

Example (Decrease)

Marks decrease from 80 to 60.

Decrease = 20

[
\text{Decrease %} = \frac{20}{80} \times 100 = 25%

Class 7 ICSE Mathematics – Percentage (Ultra-Detailed Easy Notes)
(Designed for beginners + exam scoring, as per the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations syllabus)

  1. What Is Percentage? (Concept Made Very Easy)
    Percentage means out of 100.
    “Per” = for each
    “Cent” = hundred
    So,
    Examples from daily life
    90% attendance → 90 days present out of 100
    20% discount → ₹20 off on ₹100
    75% marks → 75 marks out of 100
    👉 Percentage helps us compare different quantities easily.
  2. Understanding 100% and More Than 100%
    100% = whole quantity
    Less than 100% = less than whole
    More than 100% = more than whole
    Examples
    100% of 50 = 50
    50% of 50 = 25
    150% of 50 = 75
  3. Fraction – Decimal – Percentage Connection (Foundation Section)
    Every percentage can be written as:
    a fraction
    a decimal

Class 7 ICSE Mathematics – Percentage (EXTENDED MASTER NOTES)
(Complete coverage for concepts, word problems, exam practice – as per the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations)

  1. Percentage and Comparison of Quantities
    Percentage helps us compare two unequal quantities easily.
    Example:
    School A has 300 students, School B has 450 students.
    Girls in School A = 150
    Girls in School B = 225
    School A → �
    School B → �
    👉 Even though numbers are different, percentage comparison is same.
  2. Increase or Decrease Followed by Another Change
    Sometimes, a quantity increases or decreases more than once.
    Example
    A number is increased by 20% and then decreased by 20%. Is the final number same?
    Let original number = 100
    After 20% increase → 120
    After 20% decrease → �
    Final value = 96
    👉 Final value is NOT the same
  3. Percentage Change When Base Changes
    Always calculate percentage on the original value, not the new value.
    Important Rule:
    Percentage is always calculated on the base quantity
  4. Mixed Word Problems (Step-by-Step)
    Problem 1
    What number must be added to 400 to increase it by 15%?
    Increase = 15% of 400

(Written in very easy language, step-by-step, strictly as per the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations syllabus)

  1. Percentage and Ratio (Connection Explained Simply)
    Percentages can be converted into ratios.
    Rule
    Examples
    25% = 25 : 100 = 1 : 4
    40% = 40 : 100 = 2 : 5
    👉 This is useful in comparison questions.
  2. Converting Ratio into Percentage
    Formula
    Example Convert 3 : 5 into percentage
  3. Percentage and Average Marks
    Example
    Marks in 5 subjects = 75% each
    Total marks per subject = 100
    Average = 75 marks
    👉 Same percentage means same average when totals are equal
  4. Finding Increase or Decrease in Quantity (Direct Method)
    Increase
    New value = Original × �
    \frac{100 + \text{Increase %}}{100}
    Decrease
    New value = Original × �
    \frac{100 – \text{Decrease %}}{100}
    Example Increase 200 by 10%
  5. Shortcut Method (Very Important for Exams)
    Increase by 20% → multiply by 1.2
    Decrease by 10% → multiply by 0.9

(Clear concepts, lots of practice, exam-ready; aligned to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations syllabus)

  1. Tricky Percentage Situations (Explained Clearly)
    A. Same Percentage, Different Bases
    20% of 50 = 10
    50% of 20 = 10
    👉 Values can be equal even if percentages differ, because the base changes.
    B. Why Increase and Decrease by Same % Don’t Cancel
    Take base = 100
    +10% → 110
    −10% of 110 → 11
    Final = 99 (loss of 1%)
  2. Choosing the Correct Base (MOST IMPORTANT RULE)
    Percentage is always calculated on the original/base value mentioned in the question.
    Common mistake:
    Calculating decrease on the new value instead of the original.
  3. Convert Smartly (Time-Saving Tips)
    12.5% = �
    37.5% = �
    62.5% = �
    16⅔% ≈ �
    👉 Use fractions to avoid long decimals.
  4. Step-by-Step Explanations (Full Marks Method)
    Example
    Find the percentage decrease when a number changes from 250 to 200.
    Steps:
    Decrease = 250 − 200 = 50
    Percentage decrease = �
  5. Error Analysis (Learn from Mistakes)
    Wrong: 20% of 80 = �
    Right: �
    Why wrong?
    Forgot to divide by 100.
  6. Mixed Practice Set (Easy → Moderate → Hard)
    Easy
    Find 15% of 200.
