Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.181 Discounts and Tax Using Percents skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student has $180.00. She saves 10% first. Then she pays a $111.00 camp fee. With what remains, she wants to buy a backpack originally $80.00 that is 25% off and then has 10% tax on the discounted price. Which result is correct?

AShe has $15.00 left

BShe is short $6.00

CShe has $5.00 left

DShe is short $15.00

Solution & Explanation:Save 10% of 180.00 = 18.00, leaving 162.00. After the $111.00 fee, 162.00 − 111.00 = 51.00 remains. Backpack: 25% off 80.00 means 60.00; tax is 10% of 60.00 = 6.00; total is 66.00. She has 51.00, so she is short 66.00 − 51.00 = 15.00.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

You have $260.00. You save 25%. Then you buy a $100.00 item that is 10% off and has 10% tax on the discounted price. Finally, you buy a $40.00 item that is 50% off (no tax). What is your ending balance?

Solution & Explanation:Save 25% of 260.00 = 65.00, leaving 195.00. First item: 10% off 100.00 is 10.00, so 90.00; tax is 10% of 90.00 = 9.00; total 99.00. Second item: 50% off 40.00 is 20.00. Spending = 99.00 + 20.00 = 119.00. Ending balance = 195.00 − 119.00 = 76.00.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A streaming service charges $40.00 per month. You get 25% off for the first month, then you donate a 10% tip based on the discounted first-month price. What is your total payment for the first month?

Solution & Explanation:Discounted price: 25% of 40.00 is 10.00, so 30.00. Tip is 10% of 30.00 = 3.00. Total = 33.00.
