Percent Word Problems WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet will help students towards mastering finding percentages with a calculator. Section A helps prepare students for using decimal conversions of percentage. This is a great skill for students to develop for later topics involving multipliers, such as increasing and decreasing by percentages, or compound interest and depreciation.
