4/14 More Percent Practice

Today you will continue practicing solving percent problems.

Use the examples on the side whiteboard (Plan A and Plan B), as well as the work you did yesterday as your guide.

By the end of the period, your goal is to be able to answer the essential question using mathematical evidence to support your opinion.

Essential Question:  A store owner believes he has found an easy way to get more customers without losing money.  He will be holding a 10% off sale on every item in his store.  But, before he opens his shop that day, he will increase the price of everything by 10%.  How will this affect the original price?


  • Do Problem 78 first (page 412)
  • Then, move onto the Percent Problems on your desk (also found in Google Classroom for tonight's homework)

Homework:  Solve 3 additional Percent Problems (found in Google Classroom)
