MA.7.AR.3.1 · Proportional Reasoning and Relationships
Students solve multi-step real-world percent problems covering discounts, markups, sales tax, tips, fees, simple interest, percent increase, percent decrease, and percent error. They work forward (find the total after 8% tax) and backward (the total after tax was $54, so what was the original price).
This is one of the heaviest grade-7 benchmarks on the FAST, drawn twice per practice test, with word problems in equation editor and multiple choice form plus a share of multipart items. Reverse-direction problems are the trap: students subtract the percent from the final amount instead of dividing by the multiplier.
These come straight from Algebro's 7th grade question bank, easiest first. Answer one, check it, then move to the next.
