Calculation of percentage
Daniel brown
Taxes,tips,and mark ups
Taxes are a certain amount of the total added to the total.
Tips are a certain percent of the amount you pay for good
service.
A mark up is when the price is multiplied by a percent of a
number an then added to that number.
Discounts galore
A discount is a certain percent off the store price
Ex. A store is selling a jacket for $32.75. You have a discount
card for 40 percent off the jacket so .4 times $32.75=$13.10
Commission is weird
Commissions are an amount of money you get off a sale
EX. a girl has a lemonade stand she sells lemonade for every cup of lemonade she sells she gets 10% for each sale she makes lemonade costs 1.00 so 1.00*.1=10cents
All examples
Ex tax is 2.1% and a sandwich costs $1.99 and 1.99 *2.1=$4.18 +1.99=$6.17
Mark up ex.
Theirs a carpet that costs $32.56there was a 10% mark up so (32.56*.1)+32.56=$35.82
Tip ex
The food at Denny's costed $24.99 and the waitress did a good job so you leave a 30% tip so 24.99*.3 and your total is $32.49
