They watch 50% of the movie and then take a break. They then watch the remaining 65 minutes. How long was the movie?  \n50% of the movie = 65 minutes long So the whole movie = 65 + 65 minutes = 130 minutes long  \n3) Captain’s Autos sells 22 used cars on Monday, and 18 cars on Tuesday. This was 25% of the number of sales for the week. How many cars did they sell altogether that week?  \nMon & Tue = 22 + 18 = 40 cards sold 25% x 4 = 100%  \nSo there are 40 x 4 = 160 cars sold that week.  \n4) Sally spends 15% of her weekly budget on food, and 35% on rent. She has $350 leftover.  \nHow much was her budget?  \nShe spends 15% + 35% = 50% on food and rent.  \nSo 50% of her budget is left.  \n50% of her budget = $350.  \nSo her budget is $350 + $350 = $700  \n5) There are 30 6th graders and 40 7th gradersin a group. 10% of the 6th graders and 25% of the 7th graders are vegan.  \nHow many vegans are in the group altogether?  \n10% of 30 = 0.1 x 30 = 3  \n25% of 40 = 0.25 x 40 = 10  \nTotal number of vegan = 3 + 10 = 13  \n6) Tyger and Newton have a long jump competition. Tyger jumps 20% further than Newton. If Newton jumps 400 cm, how far does Tyger jump?  \n20% of 400 = 0.2 x 400 = 80 cm So Tyger jumps 400 + 80 = 480 cm","cbCaiaxQRi0QuUKA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaxQRi0QuUKA","pdf",178759,"English","# Percentage Word Problems\n## Problem Set 1-6\n## Answers 1-6","[{\"question\":\"How do you find the percentage of pies that are apple or cherry?\",\"answer\":\"Add the apple and cherry counts (32 + 20 = 52) to get 52 pies out of 100 total pies, so the percentage is 52%.\"},{\"question\":\"In the movie problem, if 50% is watched then 65 minutes remain, how long is the whole movie?\",\"answer\":\"Since 50% equals 65 minutes, the full movie is 65 + 65 = 130 minutes.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you compute the weekly total cars if Monday is 22, Tuesday is 18, and that equals 25% of the week?\",\"answer\":\"First total Monday and Tuesday: 22 + 18 = 40.
