What does this worksheet teach?

⌄

Total two sample data tables on lunch choices and concert travel, then find 10 percents of each total. The directions on the page read: Add the counts to fill in each Total. Then answer the questions. Write each answer as an exact percent of the total. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.

Can I use this find what percent worksheet for homeschool or classroom?

⌄

Yes, both. We made it for 8th grade percents, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.

What is the formula for what percent one number is of another?

⌄

Percent = part ÷ whole, written as a percent. For 21 of 28 plants, 21 ÷ 28 = 0.75, so 75% of the plants are watered. What Percent Word Problems uses this on six problems.

Can a percent be more than 100%?

⌄

Yes. When the part is greater than the whole, the answer is more than 100%. For example, 92 is 115% of 80. Percents Greater Than 100 has 12 problems like this.

How do you find a percent when you have to find the total first?

⌄

Add the groups to get the total, then divide the part by it. With 7 red, 8 blue and 5 green pens, the total is 20, so blue pens are 8 ÷ 20 = 40%. Two-Step What Percent Problems practices this.
