About this worksheet

Percent stories find a percent of a whole number or take a discount or add a tip to a price. Rate stories multiply a rate by a time, find a unit rate, or scale a price. Ratio stories use a ratio to find a missing amount or to share a total.

Every answer is a whole number or an amount of money in dollars and cents. Choose one topic or mix all three. There are twelve different story patterns for each kind.
