About this lesson
Most percentage worksheets only test the easy direction, finding a percentage of a number. Reverse percentage questions flip it. You're given a percentage and the result, and you have to find the original number. This is where students freeze on the 11+ and GCSE paper, especially once the percentage doesn't divide neatly into 100.
Your child works through this lesson on any screen. They click to reveal each step of a worked example, try the practice questions on paper, then click to check their own answer.
You'll get the link sent to your email automatically as soon as you buy it. No waiting, no manual fulfilment.
How it's structured:
- 6 units, building in difficulty. Round percentages, percentages above 100%, non-round percentages, increases and decreases, successive percentage changes, then multi-step word problems
- Each unit opens with a worked example. Your child clicks through it line by line and sees the method before they try a question themselves
- 10 practice questions per unit, colour-coded easy, medium and hard, so your child knows what they're facing before they start
- A final 20-question mixed challenge that pulls from all 6 units, the way reverse percentage questions actually show up on an exam paper
- 80 questions in total, each with a click-to-reveal answer
The method most worksheets skip is this. When a percentage doesn't share a common factor with 100, the usual shortcut breaks down. This lesson teaches your child to spot the difference, jump to a clean intermediate percentage when they can, and fall back on the unitary method (finding 1% first) when they can't. That judgement call is exactly what separates a confident student from one who freezes on the harder questions.
Use this if:
- Your child is in Year 4 to Year 11 and needs to build percentage confidence
- You're preparing for the 11+, where reverse percentage questions come up regularly
- Your child is doing GCSE Foundation and reverse percentages keep costing them marks
- You want a resource that marks itself instead of one more thing on your list
What you get:
- Instant access, link emailed to you automatically the moment you buy
- 6 worked examples with full step-by-step methods
- 80 practice questions across 6 topics, plus a mixed final challenge
- Click-to-reveal answers throughout, with a reveal-all option per section
- Working shown for every example, so your child learns the method, not just the answer

Aadam, the tutor has a lovely mannerism and has made my daughter feel at ease. He explains the question in a way that she understands and is patient with her. She has already seen the results at school from his help and has gone up two GCSE grades in a short period of time.P. Flower · December 2024

FAQs
How do I access the lesson?
You'll get an email with your lesson link as soon as payment goes through. Click it to open the lesson in any browser, no login and no app to install.
How does the marking work?
There's no typing answers into a box. Your child works it out on paper, then clicks to reveal the correct answer and checks their own work. Full working is shown too, not just the final answer, so mistakes are easy to spot.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
It works best on a tablet or laptop, where there's more room to read the examples and questions. It'll open on a phone too, but the text and diagrams can feel quite small on a smaller screen.
Can I use the lesson more than once?
Yes. There's no limit on how many times you open the link, so it's there for revision right up to the exam.
