This is an excellent tarsia on finding percentages of amounts, the questions range in difficulty from 10% to examples such as 63%. This would be a great starter in a lesson on calculating percentage increase and decrease. A great chance for some group work and discussion to root out any misconceptions, thank you for sharing.
