6th Grade Percent Word Problems

Here you will find a selection of worksheets on percentages designed to help your child practise how to apply their knowledge to solve a range of percentage problems..

The sheets are graded so that the easier ones are at the top.

The sheets have been split up into sections as follows:

• general percentage problems;
• solving percentage problems with bar graphs.

Each of the general problem solving sheets has also been split into 2 different worksheets:

• Sheet A which is set at an easier level;
• Sheet B which is set at a harder level;

Some of our worksheets have UK versions, which use £ instead of $.

There are 6 problems on each sheet. Sheet A is an easier version and Sheet B is a harder version.

Answer sheets include example working out to solve the problems.

These sheets involve using bar graph data to solve different percentage problems.

There is only one version of each sheet, and both sheets are at a similar level of difficulty.
