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.

This short video walkthrough shows the problems from our 6th Grade Bar Graph Percentage Word Problems Worksheet 6.2 being solved and has been produced by the West Explains Best math channel.

All the problems involve finding the percentage of a range of numbers and amounts.

Often when we are studying percentages, we look at them in the context of money.

The sheets on this page are all about finding percentages of different amounts of money.

If you would like some practice finding the percentage of a range of numbers, then try our Percentage Worksheets page.

You will find a range of worksheets starting with finding simple percentages such as 1%, 10% and 50% to finding much trickier ones.

We have created a range of worksheets based around percentage increases and decreases.

Our worksheets include:

• finding percentage change between two numbers;
• finding a given percentage increase from an amount;
• finding a given percentage decrease from an amount.

To convert a fraction to a percentage follows on simply from converting a fraction to a decimal.

Simply divide the numerator by the denominator to give you the decimal form. Then multiply the result by 100 to change the decimal into a percentage.

The printable learning fraction page below contains more support, examples and practice converting fractions to decimals.

Our online percentage practice zone gives you a chance to practice finding percentages of a range of numbers.

You can choose your level of difficulty and test yourself with immediate feedback!
