Mr. Pratts took his kids to go shopping. When he checked out, the amount for all of their clothes was $500. He got a 10 % discount. If there is a sales tax of 8%, how much will Mr. Pratts pay total?

Preparing for Your Final

The time has come! The semester is almost over and you will be test free for a few weeks! The final will include the following concepts: Fraction Decimal and Percent Conversions, the Percent Bar Model, The Proportions Model, Discounts, Tax, and Tip. I know it seems like a lot, but you can do it! Below is an example of each type of problem. If you can see an area of confusion, come see me!

Fraction, Decimal, Percent Conversions

Be able to fill in a chart like this! The test will not have perfect fractions and decimals. Work on these for some practice!

Fraction	Decimal	Percent
	0.4
		5%
	0.42
	0.038
		234%
2 1/4
		Challenge! 0.5%
		Challenge!                 2 5/6 %

Percent Bar Model

Proportions Model

Discount

Tax

Tip

You will use the same steps as with tax. It is a percent of increase, so you set up the proportion the same way then add it to the original price.

Homework for the weekend!

I know, I know! I am awful to give math homework over the weekend, but I don't get to see you all Monday! : ( I am so excited for everyone to go to the opera, but I know everyone still needs work on their math. Over the weekend, your homework is to work on at least 4 problems of the Proportional Percents worksheet. The first two problems need to be done with the formula: part/whole = ? % / 100%. The steps are on the sheet. The second two problems need to be done with the cowboy and the horse division then multiply by 100.The back four problems are challenge problems so try them if you can! Have a good weekend!
