CCSS.Math.7.RP3(NQ1c) Sales Tax, Tips, and Markups

Dear Girls and Boys,

These Learning Targets, Sales Tax, Tips or Gratuity, and Markups maybe very familiar to most if not all of you. This is the extra money beyond the cost of the item or service that gets added onto the item as you pay.  Sales Tax is what one pays to the government. Tips are generally added onto a service, for instance: a waitress may earn a tip for good service.  This is money she gets beyond her salary.  Markups are what is added onto an item before the price is set.  The markup goes towards the cost of running a store. 
These Learning Targets are all examples of money being tacked onto the price of items or services.  The following target will be examples of money being lowered for items or services.  


This is Willa and Inzo is the kitten above.  What a cute pair. Brady is some lucky fellow to have them.

As always in Math,
Mrs M
