This is a handout I use for students to practice finding discounts & taxes. The items and costs are easily changed. I have often had students bring in sales papers & we fill the chart with items from the flyers. I also like using the flyers to cover up the Original Price and have students figure it out based on the sale price & discount amount. This is hard for them because they want to multiply and add that amount back & it doesn't work that way. Good place to review common misconceptions.

This resouorce would benefit from more instructions. I know that the resource is just a handout, but I would like to see sample sales ads, and other areas that support the handout.
