Two Real Life Situations:

1) You and your friend decided to go to a huge store called Target, because everything is 70% off. Your friend wishes to buy a very bright and pink shirt, which costs $60. How much money does she need to pay?

Answer:70% of 60 = 42. $42 is the discount. $60 - 42 (discount) = 18 dollars. So, your friend will buy the shirt for $18 instead of $60.

2) My family and I went to a restaurant and ate lunch. When we were finished, my father asked for the bill, and the waiter brought it. The price was $150. Since the waiter was so polite, we decided to give him a tip of 10%. How much money did we give in total?

Answer: 10% of $150 = 15. So, in total we gave $165.
