What could possibly go wrong?

CCSS 7.RP (Ratios and Proportional Relationships)Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.

A $750.00 cabinet goes on sale for 35% off. A customer purchases it and pays 8% tax. What is the final cost?

0 + 0 = 05 + 0 = 57 + 0 = 73 + 5 = 856 + 4 = 6064 + 6 = 7032 + 7 = 390 + 0 = 05 + 0 = 57 + 9 = 168 + 3 + 1 = 124 + 1 = 5

Without multiplication fluency, challenges are compounded.

Restaurateur

Your Challenge: You are restaurateur who is opening a cafe and needs to set up the dining room. Your restaurant can serve 48 guests at once. Dinner will be served from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and you expect the restaurant to be full the entire night. On the average, a dinner party dines for one hour. Tablecloths are only washed once a day, and the tablecloths need to be changed every time new guests are seated. You need to have enough flatware, dinnerware, and glassware to last the entire night in case your dishwasher is not available. You would like to have 24 extra sets of flatware, dinnerware, and glassware, just in case. You would also like to have an extra set of tablecloths for every table in your dining room. The sales tax rate in Los Angeles is 9%. How much will it cost to set up your dining room?

table top, seats 4 $59

table base, one per table top

$134

tablecloth $22

chair $65

flatware set $3.59

chinaware $43.94/dz

glassware $39.23 per case of 24

Lesson 18: Markdowns Followed by Markups

Directions: Solve and visually depict the information accurately using bar models. Quantify each element of the bar model, including the sum. Avoid trailing zeroes when multiplying.

Solve by visualizing the bar model in your headinstead of drawing it on paper.

Helping Students Make Sense of Math

• Seeing is believing. Make math visual.

‣ Use manipulatives and modeling.

• Use schemas and analogies to make learning more concrete

and less abstract.

• Leverage the fact that math is a language.

• Focus on precision and fluency.

‣ Memorization of basic facts is essential!
