Percentages
Per cent means per hundred; every percentage problem is a fraction over 100.
“15% of 80” means 15 hundredths of 80: multiply by 15/100. The same idea handles increases (multiply by 1.15) and decreases (multiply by 0.85), and reverse questions (“80 is 15% of what?”) become a one-line equation.

Questions people ask
Why does the order of operations matter?
Because 2 + 3 × 4 would otherwise be two different numbers. The convention (brackets, exponents, multiplication and division, addition and subtraction) exists so every reader gets the same value from the same expression.
How do I check an arithmetic answer?
Estimate first (round every number and compute roughly), then compare. If the estimate and the exact answer disagree by more than a little, one of them is wrong. The solver shows every operation, so you can find which line went astray.
Why are fractions harder than decimals?
They are not harder, they are more exact: 1/3 is a precise number, 0.333 is an approximation. Fractions need a common denominator to add, which is the one extra step people trip on.
