Hi. This is minor, but it's somewhat frustrating in the Percentage Word Problems 1 exercises that you reset your streak if you omit the % when you are asked for a percentage. The questions ask "By what percentage..." so the symbol should really be understood. The questions that ask you for a dollar amount seem to accept a bare decimal.
