What percentage of his time is spend studying science?  \n25 + 35 + 20 = 80 minutes  \n35/80 minutes are spend studying science.(35 ÷ 80) x 100 = 43. 75%  \nSo Tyger spends 44% of his time studying science.  \n4) Frazer scores 80% overall in two tests. Both tests had 35 marks. In the first test, he got 27 correct. How many questions did he get right in the second test?  \n35 + 35 = 70 questions.  \n80% of 70 = 0.8 x 70 = 56 correct.  \n56 – 27 = 29. So he got 29 correct in the second test.  \n5) Toronto FC have lost 12 of the 40 games and drawn 15% of the games they have played. What percentage of games have they won?  \n15% of 40 = 0.15 x 40 = 6 games drawn 40 – 12 – 6 = 22 games won.  \n(22 ÷ 40) x 100 = 55%  \nSo they won 55% of their games.  \n6) In a group of 150 children, 6 have green eyes, 52% have brown eyes, 16% have gray eyes, and the rest have blue eyes. What percentage of the children have blue eyes?  \n52% of 150 = 78 children brown eyes 16% of 150 = 24 children gray eyes  \n6 + 78 + 24 = 108 children  \n150 – 108 = 42 children blue eyes.(42 ÷ 150) x 100 = 28% with blue eyes.","cbCait25jTIlCQ2g","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait25jTIlCQ2g","pdf",204615,"English","# Percentage Word Problems 6.1B\n## Questions\n## Answers","[{\"question\":\"What question types are included in Percentage Word Problems 6.1B?\",\"answer\":\"The worksheet includes six percentage scenarios using group totals, part-to-whole comparisons, study time shares, and performance outcomes across tests and games.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the final percentages determined in the answers?\",\"answer\":\"Each solution converts percentage statements into equivalent fractions or decimal multipliers, computes required parts of the whole, then expresses results as percentages.\"},{\"question\":\"Is rounding used in the worksheet solutions?\",\"answer\":\"Answers are rounded to the nearest whole number where appropriate, as indicated by the instructions at the start.\"}]","Percentage Word Problems 6.1B - Find the answers | PDF",1792673739]
