In math, we are studying decimals and percentages. Here are three problems that we did in class:

1. Kate was reading a book. She read 40 pages of her book so far, which is 20% of the book. How many pages are in Kate’s book?

How I solved it: 20%=1/5. 4o times 5 = 200

2.  Rachel was buying a bike. The bike cost $500.00 dollars. She only had 8 1/2% of that amount of money. How much money did she have?

How I solved it: 500 times .o85 = 42.5

3.   Lily was getting her younger sister a Christmas present. When she was buying her present, she had 18 dollars.  She saw a stuffed animal for $150 dollars. What percent of the money did she have?

How I solved it: 180÷150 = 12%

Here is a pop quiz that we got. I got 3 out of 4 of the answers right. I wish I had have done better. I am going to keep on practicing until I get 4 out of 4 right. I am going to practice by studying the fraction sheet. 

This is a take home test. I am very proud of it. I spent a lot of time on it and I think that the outcome was successful. I had to practice a lot before I actually did the test. I think that really helped because it gave me an opportunity to get better.

I am very proud of my work on Xtramath. I passed both the 3 second and 2 second multiplication. Now I am on division and I will try my best to pass.
