"Special Percents" 0% means “none of it”  25% means “a quarter of it”  50% means “half of it”  100% means “all of it”  200% means “all of it, twice”

 

This week, we use 1% to find other percentages.  Starting with 1%, we can find 2% and even 1/2%!   This mental math trick is great for other uncommon percentages, such as 9% or 24%.
