Lexi and Ann went shopping. Ann wondered how much tax she would have to pay on her purchase of $76. Lexi said, "They just charged me $17 in taxes when I bought these outfits for $200." How much will Ann pay in taxes?
Ann's taxes = [tex]\frac{17}{200}[/tex] × $76
= $6.46

Every week Roseanne gets paid $100 plus a 5% commission on all of her sales. If she has $5,000 in sales, how much is her pay for the week?
5% commission = [tex]\frac{5}{100}[/tex] × $5000
= $250
Total pay = $250 + $100
= $350

Every week Kabore gets paid $100 plus 5% of his sales. How much does he need to sell if he wants to make $700 this week?
Amount of commission paid = $700 - $100
= $600
5% of sales = $600
100% of sales = [tex]\frac{100}{5}[/tex] × $600
= $12 000

Get-It-Done Depot has an ad for piping that reads:
“15 inches of pipe - only $2.00
Get 15% off the total when you buy more than 3 feet”
Mike needs 4 feet of piping. How much will it cost him?
4 feet = 48 inches
48 inches - [tex]\frac{48}{15}[/tex] × $2.00 = $6.40
Total after 15% off (since 4 feet is more than 3 feet so the discount is legible) - [tex]\frac{100-15}{100}[/tex] × $6.40 = $5.44
