3. Representing and Converting

Mental Math

Calculator

1. 60/100 = 0.6 x 20 = 12

2. 40/100 = 0.4 x 0.1 = 0.004

3. 400/100 = 4 x 250 = 1000

4. Combining Percents

Discounts is what you save.
Sale Price is what you pay.

Sale price Solution, Regular- Discounts= Sale Price

Taxes

Ex. GST 5%
       PST 6%
               ----
              11%

100 + 11 = 111/100 = 1.11 then multiply to the money.
