Percent Word Problems







Question 1
You just hired a new baker to work in your bakeshop. In one hour the baker burned 250 chocolate chip cookies. If this represented 21% of the day’s production, how many cookies had you planned on producing that day?

They planned to produce 1190 cookies.









Question 2
A serving of ice cream contains 240 calories. One hundred forty-four calories come from fat. What percent of the total calories come from fat?

The percent of that total calories that come from fat is 60 %






Question 3
A store that sells snowboards buys them from a manufacturer at a wholesale price of $57. The store markup is 150%. What is the retail price?

The retail price is $85.50

  5. Great job Diorella! It was well thought out and was very clear to read. Next time you can add a little more colour so it doesn't look plain but overall it was great. Keep up the great work!

  6. Amazing job, Diorella! I liked how you included a link, some pictures and a video. It was also neat and easy to understand. Though, next time, as you told me... use Internet explorer or Mozilla Firefox instead of Google Chrome to add colour. Overall you did great!
