A percent is a rate per hundred. Identify the base amount before multiplying by the decimal rate. A discount subtracts from the original price; tax is added to the applicable taxable price. For percent change, divide the change by the original amount. Successive percentage changes are applied to changing amounts rather than simply added together.
A $80 item at 25% off has a $20 discount and costs $60 before tax. If tax is 5% of the sale price, tax is $3 and the total is $63.
Write the steps or relationships that explain the result:
Underline the base amount and name the requested quantity: percent amount, final price, or percent change.
Summarize the method in your own words, with a diagram or labeled units where useful:
The discount amount and the amount paid are different answers.
Describe how you will recognize and correct this mistake:
Use the mixed practice check linked in the hub. Record the skill you need to revisit and your next study step.
