Worksheet Description

This worksheet is tailored for eighth-grade students and is comprised of percentage word problems that simulate financial and business situations. The problems include determining the sale price of a dress after a discount, calculating tax on a total amount, figuring out the selling price after a markup, and computing profit from a sale. It also challenges students with tasks such as calculating the final price after a discount on a laptop, the depreciation on the price of a phone, the future value of an investment with compound interest, and earnings from commission on sales.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to apply percentage calculations to various economic contexts. It reinforces their ability to work with percentages in different situations such as sales, taxation, markups, and investments. By solving these problems, students develop practical math skills that are essential for financial literacy, such as understanding how discounts, tax rates, and interest rates affect pricing and earnings. The goal is to equip students with the numerical tools to make informed decisions in real-world financial scenarios.
