are girls. What percentage of the class are What percentage of the skittles are
girls? red?

(18 ÷ 30) x 100 = 60 (12 ÷ 40) x 100 = 30


60% of the class are girls. 30% of the skittles are red.

3) Tyger spends 25 minutes studying 4) Frazer scores 70% in a spelling test. If


mathematics, 35 minutes studying science there are 40 spellings, how many did he
and 40 minutes studying history. What get right?
percentage of his time is spend studying
science?
25 + 35 + 40 = 100 minutes 70% = 0.7
So he spends 35/100 = 35% of his time 0.7 x 40 = 28
studying science. He got 28 spellings right.

5) Toronto FC have lost 5 of the 20 games 6) In a group of 32 children, 25% have


they have played. What percentage of blue eyes. How many children do not
games have they not lost? have blue eyes?

(5 ÷ 20) x 100 = 25%


100% – 25% = 75%. 25% have blue eyes = ¼ .
They have not lost 75% of their games. ¼ of 32 = 32 ÷ 4 = 8 children.
8 children have blue eyes.
So 32 – 8 = 24 children do not have blue
eyes.
