Percent word problems

The topic  is a topic under the 6th Grade Math Mission. This exercise practices word problems in percentages of all three major types.

Types of Problems
There are three types of problems in this exercise:


 * 1) Find the percentage: This problem provides a specific problem searching for a percentage of total. The student is asked to find the correct answer and provide it in the correct box.Pwp1.png
 * 2) Find the total: This problem provides a word problem involving percents. The student is asked to find the correct answer and provide it in the space.Pwp2.png
 * 3) Find the amount: This problem is the most straightforward. It asks for student to type a particular percentage of a fixed value in the box.Pwp3.png

Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy badges because all three problems are predictable. Speed badges should be considered medium because until you get into good habits it might be considered slightly challenging to distinguish between the types.
 * 1) When Find the percentage happens, take the number, divide by the total, then multiply by 100.
 * 2) When Find the total happens, take the number and divide by the percentage (represented as a decimal).
 * 3) When Find the amount happens, just multiply the percentage (as a decimal) by the number and this should provide the right answer.
