Percent - Discount
Find the discount price and the sale price. The discount is how much off or less than the regular price. The sale price is what you actually pay (the regular price minus the discount) Remember, stores always round to the nearest cent and you should too! EX: 13.865 rounds to 13.87 Remember, to take a percent of a number you MULTIPLY the number by the DECIMAL EX: 8% of $25 .08 x 25 Some of the questions can be done mentally by using fraction of a number or 10% trick. EX: 25% of 32 1/4 of 32 Separate 32 into fourths 8 8 8 8 EX: 10% of 8.71 1/10 of 8.71 Move the decimal point one place .871
