Percent Proportion
Discount Bar Model In the bar model, the original price is equal to the sale price plus the discount. To find the sale price, subtract the discount from the original price.
Discount Example
Discount Equation 100% - % Discount Change % to decimal Multiply by the original price to find the sale (discounted) price. EX: 15% off of $29.89 100-15=85% 0.85 0.85 x 29.89= $25.41 Sale Price Sale Price= Original price - (% of discount x original price)
Discount Proportion % Discount = Amount of Discount 100 Original Price
Tax/Tip/Commission/Markup Bar Model In the bar model, the total price is equal to the original price plus the tax/tip/commission/markup. To find the original price, subtract the markup from the total price.
Tax/Tip/Commission/Markup Examples
Tax/Tip/Commission/Markup Equation Change % to decimal Multiply by the original price to find the total price (including tax/tip/commission/interest/markup. EX: 18% tip for $34.99 dinner bill 100 + 18=118% 1.18 1.18 x 34.99= $41.29 Total with Tip Total Price= Original price + (% of markup x original price)
Markup Proportion % Markup = Amount of Markup 100 Original Price
Simple Interest Bar Model In the bar model, the total amount to pay back is equal to the amount borrowed plus the interest. To find the amount borrowed, subtract the interest from the total amount to pay back.
