FAQs

What does the Percent of a Number worksheet cover?

This Grade 7 worksheet practises finding a percentage of a number through 20 questions: 8 multiple-choice, 1 drag-and-drop, and 11 fill-in-the-blank items. Students calculate percentages of whole numbers and dollar amounts, including examples such as 75% of $8.00, 35% of 96, and percentages greater than 100%.

How can I use this worksheet to teach finding a percent of a number?

Introduce the worksheet by modelling one calculation, such as 40% of 10, and connect the percent to a fraction or decimal before multiplying by the given number. Then have students solve the multiple-choice items first, discuss why distractors such as 400 are unreasonable, and use the fill-in-the-blank and drag-and-drop items to check whether they can produce the answer independently.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?

Watch for students treating the percent as a whole number instead of converting it to a fractional or decimal value, which can produce answers such as 400 for 40% of 10. Students may also misplace decimal points in answers such as 33.6 or 121.6, confuse 100% with 10%, or overlook the dollar context in items such as 20% of $5.00.

How do I assign and grade this Percent of a Number worksheet?

Assign it as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground, depending on whether students should write answers or submit them online. The worksheet includes a complete answer key, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app.

How does this worksheet help students work with percentages greater than 100%?

The final section includes questions such as 130% of 83 and 190% of 64, requiring students to recognize that a percentage above 100% produces a result greater than the original number. These items extend the same percent-of-a-number process beyond familiar benchmark percentages and require accurate decimal answers such as 107.9 and 121.6.
