Chapter 2.6 Sales Tax, Tips and MarkUps

Good Evening to all,

And just when you think it can't get any more PRACTICAL in math class than finding the Percent of Change, we are on SALES TAX, TIPS, and MARKUP. 

 I bet you are familiar with these if you have ever been with your family when they buy groceries, snowmobiles, 4 wheelers or the like.  When you go shopping next time look at the price of the item, is it the full price you will pay?  Most items that you buy, other than some groceries, will have tax added to them.  

All three of these TAX, TIPS and MARKUPS in lesson 6 is about adding a cost(in percent) to the purchase price. So make sure you estimate this in before heading to the checkout counter and find you don't have enough money!
