Grade 8 Percents Worksheets
Grade 8 percents covers percent change, simple interest, and multi-step percent problems. The five sheets below take that work in five formats, and each comes in three versions with its own answer key.
What the grade 8 percents sheets cover
Grade 8 percents comes in five formats (problem counts in brackets): drill (30, straight practice), timed drill (60, timed fluency), missing number (24, find the blank), mixed review (30, mixed shapes), and word problems (10, stories). Set A uses numbers from 0.04 to 3,700, 7 with fractions, and 26 with decimals to 2 places. Problem types: percent increase and decrease, simple interest, and percent of a number, plus three more. All five come as Sets A, B and C with answer keys, 154 problems per set from 10 to 60 a sheet. From the Set A drill, problem 11: "A value changes from 40 to 20. What is the percent decrease?" (answer 50%). Common Core: 7.RP.3.

Grade 8 Percents Word Problems
Story problems in real-world contexts.
The drill has 30 problems, story problems (problem 11: "A value changes from 40 to 20. What is the percent decrease?"). The timed drill has 60 problems, numbers to 786 (problem 21: "84% of 81"). The missing number has 24 problems, story problems (problem 9: "___% of 100 = 50"). The mixed review has 30 problems, story problems (problem 11: "A $15.00 item is 40% off. What is the sale price?"). The word problems has 10 problems, story problems (problem 4: "A tablet drops in price from $800.00 to $720.00. What is…").
Across the five sheets the generator draws on percent increase and decrease, simple interest, percent of a number, percents, fractions and decimals, finding the whole from a percent, and tax, tip and discount. The pages are tagged to Common Core 7.RP.3, and each tag links to the standards index.
If this level is not landing, step to grade 7 percents, where the focus is tax, tip and discount, percent increase and decrease, and harder percents of a number; if it is too easy, grade 8 moves on to percent change, simple interest, and multi-step percent problems.
Start with the grade 8 percents drill to see whether the method is in place, use the timed drill only once accuracy is there, and save the word problems for the point where the student can compute without thinking about it.
