About this worksheet

Percent problems. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find a percent of an amount (find the part).
  • I can find the whole when I know a part and its percent.
  • I can find what percent one number is of another.

Standard: 6.RP.A.3c

Words to know

percent: "Out of 100." 30% means 30 out of every 100.

whole: The full amount, always 100%.

part: A piece of the whole, like 27 of 90 flowers.

amount: A number of things you count, like flowers, seats or minutes.

easy row: A row you can make quickly, like 10% (divide by 10) or 5% (divide by 20).

multiplier: The number you multiply both columns by to get from one row to another.

Common mistakes

Your child took the same amount off (or added the same amount to) both numbers in a row instead of dividing or multiplying. Try finding 10% of an amount together by dividing by 10, then build up to 30% or 70%.

Your child divided the whole by the percent number (like 80 ÷ 40).

Your child found the percent of the amount they were given, but that amount is already only part of the whole.

What to say

Ask: 40% means how many out of every 100? Then find 10% first and build up.

Ask: should the whole be bigger or smaller than the part?
