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)

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.

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.

What is the most common mistake with estimate and find the final price: discount, markup, tax and tip?
