Percent practice for 6th and 7th grade. The first sheet explains percent as "out of 100" and shows how to find a percent of a number from 10%, 25% and 50%. The practice sheets go from hundred grids to percent of a number to discounts and tips. Every practice sheet has its answer key on the second page.

Download PDFPercent means "per hundred". 35% is 35 out of 100, which is why the first practice sheet uses hundred grids: shading 35 of the 100 squares shows 35%, 0.35 and 35/100 as the same amount.
Most percent problems can be done without a calculator by starting from a few easy ones. 50% is half, 25% is a quarter, and 10% is one tenth. Set A practices those. Set B builds from them: 30% is three lots of 10%, 5% is half of 10%, and 15% is 10% plus 5%.
The conversion table links the three forms students are expected to move between: 1/4, 0.25 and 25%.
The word problems are the everyday ones: a sale price, a tip, a test score as a percent. For the idea behind percents, see the ratios worksheets, and for the decimal side, the decimals worksheets.
