    I really enjoy the complexity of this worksheet. It teaches me new levels of percentages instead of simple fraction conversions like 25%.

    Dear Twinkl,We are a Year 6 class using the "Finding percentages of quantities 5%" sheet and have noticed that the answer for Question 26 is incorrect. We worked out 35% of 220 to be 77 not 66 like the answer sheet states.
    Kind regards,
    Year 6, Alfreton, Derbyshire.
