Words to know

sales tax: A percent of the price added on when you buy something.

tip: Extra money a grown-up adds to a restaurant bill for the server.

discount: Money taken off the price; "25% off" means 25% of the price comes off.

markup: What a shop adds to what it paid (its cost) to get its selling price.

Common mistakes

Your child wrote the percent of the tax, tip or discount line instead of the percent of the line the question asked about.

Your child took the percent off when it should be added on, or added it when it should come off.

Your child found the tax, tip, markup or discount in dollars and stopped there.

What to say

Ask: is the price line still 100% in that table?

Ask: does a tax make the price go up or down? Does a discount?

Ask: what does the buyer pay in the end, the price with that amount added or taken off?
