Find here an unlimited supply of printable worksheets for calculating a given percentage of a number for grades 6-8, both as PDF and html files (html files are editable). Options include choosing the range for the percentage and for the base number, the number of decimal digits, limiting the percentage and the base number to a multiple of a certain number (the "step" option in the generator), font size, workspace, border, and more.

Key to Percents first emphasizes mental computation and estimation skills--since most work with percents is done without pencil and paper. Then students are taught to solve percent problems using equal fractions and decimal multiplication. Finally, percents are used to solve word problems in a variety of applications. Key to Percents assumes only a knowledge of fraction and decimal computation. Book 1 covers Percent Concepts. Book 2 covers Percents and Fractions. Book 3 covers Percents and Decimals.
