This unit is about applying the knowledge of percent to various types of everyday percent problems. When purchasing items, the price for some items increases because sales tax is added, based on the percent assessed for a particular locality. Shopping for items on sale is fun for a wise customer because discounts, based on a percent off, are subtracted from the original price. Savers and investors are interested in interest earned over time, based on varying percent rates provided through the bank or investment brokers, because they want their invested money to grow quickly. Purchasing large items over time is also a concern for buyers as they to find good interest rates (low percents) so that they can repay the amount borrowed in a reasonable amount of time. Some types of jobs pay on commission; that is, the more merchandise sold, the higher the take-home pay will be, based on a commission rate (percent).
