"How do I calculate percentage?"
→ Multiply the number by the percentage divided by 100. For example, 25 percent of 80 is 80 times 0.25 which equals 20.
Percentage Puzzle is a quantitative reasoning game that builds mastery of percentage calculations - one of the most frequently tested concepts in aptitude exams. From data interpretation to profit-loss, percentage skills are foundational.
The game presents diverse percentage problems from basic calculations to complex multi-step questions. You develop the mental shortcuts and numerical fluency that make percentage questions fast and accurate.
The game covers comprehensive percentage skills:
Problem Types: • Basic Percentage: Finding X% of a number • Percentage Change: Increase/decrease calculations • Successive Percentage: Multiple percentage changes • Reverse Percentage: Finding base from result • Applied Problems: Profit/loss, discounts, interest
Speed Focus: Building mental calculation ability for timed exams.
Understand what percentage relationship is being asked.
Determine what number the percentage is being calculated from.
Use shortcuts or formulas to find the answer quickly.
Check that your answer makes sense in context.
Percentage Puzzle develops quantitative abilities:
Proportional Reasoning: Understanding part-whole relationships.
Mental Calculation: Computing percentages without paper.
Estimation: Quickly checking if answers are reasonable.
Formula Application: Using shortcuts and formulas efficiently.
Reverse Reasoning: Working backward from results.
Percentage skills impact every quant section:

Memorize key equivalents: 1/4=25%, 1/3=33.33%, 1/8=12.5%, 1/6=16.67%
For percentage change: (New-Old)/Old × 100, not divided by new
Successive percentages dont simply add: 10% + 20% ≠ 30% increase
If A is 25% more than B, B is 20% less than A (not 25%)
Break complex percentages into easier chunks for mental math
