We use taxes to pay for food,to give tips,buy a car,buying a house,and buying clothes.
Tips are when you give and extra something and add it to your total. Tips vary depending on taxes.
Discounts
Mark-ups and Commission
Commission is when you can save a certain percent of what you paid for..
Examples
Tips:when you go to a diner or restaurant and leave a certain amount of money to a waiter or waitress..like is my total price is $11.54 and I decide to give a $3.25 tip..my total cost would be $14.79
Discounts:when you go to target to buy a pair of skinny jeans for the original price of $29.99 but you get the jeans for 50% off. So now you pay 14.99 for the jeans you want from target.
Mark-ups:when you pay extra money then what it was originally. So for example, if you go to the dollar store and see a pair of shoes for $6.99 and decide to wait until you buy it. You then decide to go shopping at city trends and you see the same pair of shoes but for $9.99, you then go back to the dollar store to buy them since they cost less and are the same.
Commission:when you save a certain amount of money when you buy a certain item. For example, you go to a car shop to look and buy a car. You see the car you want and the price is $10,000 so you decide to buy it but then your car dealer says that if I buy the car I can save $2,000 so I buy the car and instead of paying $10,000 I only had to pay $8,000
