Percentage Problems WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 7th Grade, Algebra I, IM 2
CCSS: 7.RP.A.3, HSA.SSE.B.3.C
CCSS Description: Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems, including simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, and percent error.
Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example the expression 1.15t can be rewritten as (1.151/12)12t ≈ 1.01212t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%.

Percentage Problems WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Percentage Problems combines everything your learners need to know about percentages. Students often find switching between different methods to solve a variety of problems difficult and this worksheet aims to help resolve this!
Section A focuses on methods by asking pupils to match multipliers and calculations to different scenarios.
Section B consists of 12 questions, each of which will see your learners solving different problems involving percentages. Problems include: finding percentages of amounts, calculating percentage change, reverse percentages, expressing one number as a percentage of another, repeated percentage change and solving simple and compound interest problems. Calculators are required.
