About this worksheet

Estimate and find the final price: discount, markup, tax and tip. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can estimate a tip, a tax or a final price with friendly numbers before working it out.
  • I can find a total or a sale price to the nearest cent, including two changes in a row.
  • I can work back from a total with tax or tip, or after a sale and tax, to the starting price.

Standard: state-only (CCSS 7.RP.A.3)

Words to know

estimate: Round to a friendly number first, then take the percent.

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.

Common mistakes

Your child moved the decimal point one place too far. Check the estimate: 20% of about $40 is about $8, not $80.

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.
