Today’s Lesson:

1. Today’s Lesson: What: Consumer Applications Why: To solve problems involving tax, tips, discounts, etc.

2. What’s a consumer? A consumer is someone who __________________________ goods/ services at a variety of stores/businesses. Things for a consumer to consider are: Taxes (_____________ to the purchase) Discounts (_____________ from the purchase) Tips (________________ to the purchase) purchases add subtract add

3. When calculating the tax, discount, or tip, we always need to find the part out of the total for various different ________________________. There are 2 ways to do this: the percent proportion formula ( = ), OR the multiplication method (change % to a decimal and multiply). percentages

4. For example: You are at Target. Your total, before tax, is $28.50. If the sales tax is 6%, what is your total, including the tax? There are 2 ways to solve above problem:

5. Tip: Add Discount: Subtract Tax: Add $38.15 $44.21

6. Tip: Add Discount: Subtract Tax: Add $78.54 $6.17

7. Tip: Add Discount: Subtract Tax: Add $3.90 $51.92

8. Tip: Add Discount: Subtract Tax: Add $39.36 $9.86
