Tyger scores 15% more points than Captain. How many points does Tyger score? |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| 10% of 120 = 12. 5% of 120 = 6 | |\n| So 15% of 120 = 12 + 6 = 18\u003Cbr>So Tyger scored 120 + 18 = 138 points. |  |\n\n2) Frazer is saving up for a new laptop. He has saved 45% of the amount so far. If the laptop costs $320, how much does more does he need to save?  \nHe has saved 45% so he still needs to save 55% more.  \n55% of 320 = 0.55 x 320 = 176  \nHe still needs to save $176 more.  \n3) Sally sprints 300 yards in a minute. Quadra runs 16% further than Sally in the same time.  \nHow far did Quadra sprint?  16% of 300 = 0.16 x 300 = 48  \nQuadra sprints 300 + 48 = 348 yards.  \n4) Newton spends 15% of his free time each day reading. If he spends 33 minutes reading, how much free time does he have in hours and minutes?  \n15% of free time = 33 minutes  So 5% of free time = 33 ÷ 3 = 11 minutes So 100% of free time = 5% x 20  \n11 minutes x 20 = 220 minutes = 3 hours 40 minutes free time.  \n\n| 5) There are some fish in an aquarium. 30% of the fish are angelfish. If there are 21 angelfish in the aquarium, how many fish |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| altogether?\u003Cbr>30% of fish = 21 angelfish So 10% of fish = 21 ÷ 3 = 7 fish 100% of fish = 10% x 10\u003Cbr>So 100% of fish = 7 x 10 = 70 fish There are 70 fish in the aquarium. | |\n\n\n| 6) Sally buys a tin of chocolates.
