Finding percents

The topic  is a topic under the 6th Grade Math Mission. This exercise introduces the basic percent equations (at least two of them).

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


 * 1) Find what amount: This problem asks for the value of a percentage of a particular number. The student is asked to type the correct response in an answer box.Fp1.png
 * 2) Find what percentage: This problem asks what percentage of some total is some value worth. The student is asked to enter the percentage in the provided space.Fp2.png

Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy badges because both of the equation types are introduced at the beginning of experience with percentage equations. The speed badges are also easy because the equations easy to implement as soon as you realize which one is being asked.
 * 1) On the first type, Find what amount, multiply the two number you see and divide by 100 (unless you convert the percentage to a decimal before multiplying).
 * 2) On the Find what percentage type you need to divide the first number you see by the second number and then multiply by 100 (unless you can move the decimal mentally).
 * 3) For the Find what percentage the problem is asking for the whole percentage (note the % sign in the question) so do not unnecessarily (and incorrectly) convert your answer to a decimal answer.
