- Add to my blogfor the third way i did it wrong on the bubbleshare. so i'll just redue it here.
the third way to find 35% of 80 is like this
10% = 80 / 10 = 8
10% = 80 / 10 = 8
10% = 80 / 10 = 8
5% = 80 / 5 = 4

My review: If you're looking for good examples of percents, this blog is where you should go. It has lots of detail and they use a lot of pictures to make the blog more exciting, and not as boring.

I give you a 63/65 everything was done very well. Your gliffy was amazing and you got all the right answers. The only thing that was wrong was some of the questions and answers were done in the same colour {labeling}.
Your growing post is amazing!!! There's hardly anything wrong. You were creative, and you did an extremely good job. But try to not use paint. I think that was the goal. hm...well keep up the great work ^^
