Question 12 marksGrade 5-6
Kai compares the attendance of a football club in 2023 and 2024. In 2023 it was 116. In 2024 it was 145. Work out the 2024 attendance as a percentage of the 2023 attendance.
Show the worked solution
Divide the new amount by the original amount: $145 \div 116 = 1.25$
Convert to a percentage by multiplying by 100: $1.25 \times 100 = 125\%$

What are the common mistakes in Percentages greater than 100%?

When a pupil makes one of these on Revision Workshop, the marking engine names the mistake and explains it, instead of just marking the answer wrong.

Uses the wrong operation or sign when translating a worded description into an algebraic expression
Subtracted 20% of 210 (the growth amount, calculated from the NEW value) from 210, instead of dividing 210 by the multiplier 1.2 to correctly undo the original percentage increase
Applies the wrong inverse operation when isolating the unknown (e.g. subtracts instead of adding, or vice versa)
Multiplied 210 by 120% again instead of dividing by it - since 210 already represents 120% of the original, division is needed to undo the percentage change
Gives an intermediate value (e.g. before the final division/simplification) as the final answer
Gave the percentage INCREASE (20%) rather than expressing the new amount as a percentage of the original (which must include the original 100% as well as the growth)
