Day of Improvement: 01.16.15

Students,

Hopefully you enjoy your day off.  Take some time today to improve your math skills by spending 15 minutes or more on Khan Academy.  Your focus should be 6th Grade: Ratios, Rates, and Percentages. Once you are able to turn those all into the Practice classification, knock out some Mastery Challenges and attempt to improve your overall level of mastery for sixth grade content somewhere between 5 and 10 percentage points higher than where it currently sits.

In relentless pursuit of excellence,

Mr. Giomini

I have improved by four percentage points from yesterday.
Looking to get to 95% Mastery by Tuesday morning.  
Additional Percent Practice Word Problems

Murphy's meal cost $15.70.  He paid the server $18.76.  Approximately what percent tip did Murphy give the server.  (19.5%)

You have a coupon for 25% off the price of a mystery novel that regularly sells for $7.00.  The sales tax is 7.25%.  If you give the cashier $10.00, how much change would you expect in return?  ($4.37)

In a survey, 28 students said that pizza is their favorite lunch.  If 28 is 16% of the class, how many students are in the class?  (175 students)
