Percentage Worksheets
with different wordings

This generator makes worksheets where the student calculates a percentage of a number, finds the percentage when the number and the part are given, or finds the number when the percentage and the part are given. You can make the worksheets either in PDF or html formats — both are easy to print. The problems are presented in words, and you can choose the types of wording to use.

All worksheets come with an answer key on the 2nd page of the file.


Basic instructions for the worksheets

Each worksheet is randomly generated and thus unique. The answer key is automatically generated and is placed on the second page of the file.

You can generate the worksheets either in html or PDF format — both are easy to print. To get the PDF worksheet, simply push the button titled "Create PDF" or "Make PDF worksheet". To get the worksheet in html format, push the button "View in browser" or "Make html worksheet". This has the advantage that you can save the worksheet directly from your browser (choose File → Save) and then edit it in Word or other word processing program.

Sometimes the generated worksheet is not exactly what you want. Just try again! To get a different worksheet using the same options:

  • PDF format: come back to this page and push the button again.
  • Html format: simply refresh the worksheet page in your browser window.


Example percentage worksheets

The worksheets below are viewed in your browser (html). After you have generated a worksheet, you can save it from your browser (choose File → Save As) to your device. You can then later open and edit it in a word processor.

Also, once you have a worksheet, you can simply refresh the page in your browser to get another worksheet with different problems but using the same options.

Key to Percents Workbooks

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.
