Percentage questions in PSLE turn on the base: a percentage of what? Discount then GST, a reverse percentage and a base that changes when more items are added all catch children who work from the wrong 100%.
The mistakes this paper looks for
- Finding a percentage of the new amount when it should be of the original
- Adding percentages that have different bases
- Taking 100% off the price after a reverse percentage
Try a question from this paper
Paper 1, Question 12 (2 marks). After a discount of 10%, a fan costs $216. What was its price before the discount?
- $240
- $237.60
- $21.60
- $194.40
Show the answer
(1) $240
$216 is 90% of the price before the discount.
1% = $2.40, so 100% = $240
