sales tax: A percent of the price added at the till.

tip: A percent of the bill added for the service.

markup: What a shop adds to its cost to set the selling price.

100% line: The amount every percent in that table is taken of.

Your child read the percent as dollars (20% as $20). A percent is a share of the amount.

Your child gave the tax, tip or discount itself. The question asks for the line paid in the end.
