Percents Continued!

Percents can be used in many ways in our everyday lives.  We have been currently focussing on how taxes relate to taxes and discounts.  Check out our latest notes on this very topic.  Our textbooks are great resources but even they can't be kept as up to date as they should be.  Our textbook was printed in 2008 when GST was 6% so we researched and found the current GST rate is 5%. 

TJ has a couple of great examples on how to calculate taxes and discounts using different methods.

CF has a succinct and clear way of describing how to work with percents while doing percent problems.

KG found some games that relate to percents and discounts - check out her blog post and try them out!
