Remember these things:

2) If it's a tax, add that percentage to the number.
3) If it's a discount, subtract the percentage from the number.

ok:)

Answer 17

Example 1.
$50 book with 6% tax.
6% * $50 = 0.06 * 50 = $3 (this is the tax)
Final price is $50 + $3 = $53 (price of book plus tax).

Example 2.
$20 ticket with 8% discount.
8% * $20 = 0.08 * 20 = $1.60 (this is amount of discount)
$20 - $1.60 = $18.40 (this is the final price after taking off the discount)
