a)Find the population after the second year.

The population was 132 in the second year.
b)The increase was not 30% because the 20% increase in the second year was based on a new population after the first increase.

Sydney Tuna Mazur: Percent post

7.
a) The population after the second year is 132 caribou.
b) It is 20% instead of 30 percent because it started with 10% on the first year, and then added another 10% the second making it 20%.

8. (chp. 1-4review)

a) Pasta supreme is the better buy because the amount is bigger than the super choice for only a couple cents more.
b) $0.14 per g for super choice, and $0.10 per g for pasta supreme
c) Pasta supreme is the better because it is $0.04 less per g.
d) estimating unit costs is useful because it helps you make better choices and save money.

4) Chris purchased the following items:

• 2 binders for 4.99 each (about $10.00)
• 1 math set for 3.99
• a backpack for 16.99

Find the total cost including 5% GST and 7% PST.

Step 1: Add all the costs of the supplies to get a sum of $24.98.

Step 2: Multiply the sum by 0.12. The reason you multiply it by 0.12 is because it is the result of adding the GST and PST together.

Step 3: Add the taxes to the total.

3)Q. Kyle says that a population increase of 15% one year followed by an increase of 10% the next year is the same population increase of 25% over two years. Is Kyle correct? Explain.

3)A. Kyle is wrong because if you add 10+15% you get 115 and if you add 10% to that you get 126. This doesn't add up to 25%.

7)Q. A herd of 100 caribou was moved to a new location. The population increased by 10% the fist year and then increased by 20% the second year. Find the population after the second year. Explain why there was not 30% increase in population over two years.

7)A. 100+10% (First Year) =110
110+20% (second Year) =132
B. Because it wasn't 30% for 2 years. It was 2 different numbers for 2 different years.

9)Q. Arjay was thinking of buying a car worth $23 000, but delayed purchasing the car for a year. During that year, the cost of the car increased by 3.2%. What was the price of the car when Arjay purchased it? What was the total cost of the car including 5% GST and 5% PST?

9)A. $23 000+3.2% = $23 736 (CAR PRICE)

CAR $23.736 5% GST= 1 186.80 7% PST=$1 661.52

TOTAL TAX= $ 2 848.32

Anita's We Day Post

On Wednesday, November 23rd, I had one of the best experiences of my life! We Day was such an inspiring, fun time that I didn't want it to end! Once you walk through the doors of the Mts Center all you can see are thousands of students and adults everywhere. There were a lot of different booths advertising different things. There was one stand promoting the Vow of Silence campaign, even a booth advertising Boston PIzza! There was one game where you can win Boston Pizza coupon, and I won $5.00 off my next pizza.. when you purchase something over 25 dollars :(

The Mts Center is exceptionally big, and it was practically flooded with excited children and adults! When we did the 'We Day dance', everyone was up and dancing, and it was really cool to see everyone jumping at the same time. It was very strange when Michel Chikwanine was on stage and all 16 000 of us in the Mts Center were perfectly quiet. It was surreal when I saw Hedley and Down With Webster perform, because they are really fantastic live in concert!

The only thing I didn't like about We Day was how filled the Mts Center was with people, and it took forever to buy lunch because people were constantly cutting each other in line and there were too few workers to serve everyone in line! I even missed some of the performances because I was stuck in line! And I didn't get to see any of the performers and speakers so they could give me an autograph.

Overall, it was a excellent day. I got to see Spencer West, Al Gore, the Craig and Mark Kielburger, and a whole lot of other magnificent people that we talk about in class! I definitely want to attend We Day again. It was a really good day! (:

1. Kaitlyn and Jordan are converting 0.003 to a percent.

Who is correct? Show how you know.

Kaitlyn: Jordan:

0.003 = 3% 0.003 = 0.3%

Jordan is correct he is correct because you have to convert a decimal to a percent. You do that by multiplying by 100.

3. Teammates Mark and Jonas are discussing the outcome of a game.

Mark says their team scored 500% as many goals as the other

team and Jonas says they scored fi ve times as many goals as the

other team. Can they both be correct? Explain how you know.

Yes they can both be correct. They can both be correct because 100% multiplied 5 times equals 500%. So in one each 5 represents 100%.

Ravi purchased 3 DVD's for 19.99 each. Find the total cost for the DVD's include 5% GST and 6% PST.

3 dvd's= 19.99 x 3 =59.97

tax = 11% 59.97 x 0.11= 6.6

11% = 6.6

59.97+6.6= $67.6 3 DVD's plus tax is total to $67.6

A store discounted items by 50% off the original price one week. The following week an additional 10% was taken off the already reduced price. The regular price of a CD player was $85.00. What is the reduced price in the second week?

First week

50% off of $85.oo is 85.00 x 0.50 =$42.5

second week

10% off of $42.5 42.5 x 0.10= 4.25 42.5 - 4.25 = $ 38.25

Diana's Textbook's Question (6, 8, 15)

Since it won't let me post my video, click here.

Suzzene's scribe post

*Taxes not included.

1st Question:

Store A:

Skates = $200

50% Off.

Store B:

Skates = $200

Day 1- 30% Off.

Day 2- 20% Off.

Finding the total price for Store A:

For finding how much the sale price is for Store A, I would first find the discount. I'd find the answer by doing the decimal way.

50/100 = 0.50

0.50 x 200= 100

Then, I would subtract the original price to the discount.

200 - 100= $100

Therefore, in Store A, you would have to pay $100.

Finding the total price for Store B:

Like in Store A, I would first find the discount.

30/100= 0.30

0.30 x 200= 60

Then subtract it with the Original Price again.

200-60= $140

On the first day, you'd get the skates for $140 dollars. If you go the second day, to find how much it is, you have to do the whole process all over again except, you have a new 100%. Instead of 200, it will be 140.

20/100= 0.20

0.20 x 140= 28

Lastly, subtract once more.

140-28= $112

In the end, it shows that you can save more, ($12) if you buy at Store A instead of Store B.

2nd Question:

Store C:

Boots = $270

40% Off.

Store D:

Boots = $270

Day 1- 30% Off.

Day 2- 10% Off.

Finding the total price for Store C:

Re-do the whole process done in the 1st question.

As a reminder, first, you must find the discount.

40/100= 0.40

0.40 x 270= $108

Then, subtract original price with discount.

270-108= $162.

Therefore, if you bought in Store C, you would get the boots for $162.

Finding the total price for Store D:

Find the discount first.

30/100= 0.3

0.3 x 270= $81

Subtract Original Price with discount.

270 - 81= $189

If you bought the boots on the first day, you would buy it for $189. If you bought it on the second day...

Finding the discount:

10/100= 0.10

0.10 x 189= $18.90

Subtracting the discount from the Day 1 price, it would be $170.10

189- 18.90= $170.10

Therefore, you would save more money if you bought it at Store C instead of Store D.

If you are kind of confused, here's a video that may help you.:

Here is also a game about discounts and such.

Jay Jay's Percent Post :)

ipod is $285 with a 5% discount

5/100=0.05x285=14.25

285-14.25=270.75

Jeans $75 15% Discount

Discount: 15/100=0.15x75=11.25

Sale Price: 75-11.25=63.75

Method:

I divide the discount by 100 then multiply that number by the original price to find the discount amount. I subtract the discount amount from the original amount to get the discounted price.
