What It Is:
This is a math worksheet focused on percentage increase and decrease. It includes problems asking students to determine the multiplication factor for finding a percentage of a number (e.g., 'To find 50% you can multiply by '). It also includes problems related to calculating the remaining percentage after a decrease (e.g., 'When you decrease by 20%, % remains'). Finally, it has questions about discounts and markups being percentage increases or decreases. There are also visual aids showing sale tags with different percentages.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 6-8. It involves understanding percentages, decimals, and their relationship to multiplication, which are concepts typically introduced and reinforced in these grade levels.
Why Use It:

How to Use It:
Students should read each question carefully and fill in the blank spaces with the correct answers. For the multiplication questions, they need to convert the percentage to a decimal. For the decrease questions, they need to calculate the remaining percentage. They should use their knowledge of discounts and markups to answer the final two questions.
