Congratulations and Blog Math

Congratulations to the WOW winners for the month of April.  These fine young journalists were recognized for their work interviewing a staff member and crafting an interesting news article:  Nick, Owen, Ethan D.,  and Brad.  Keep up the good writing!  Maybe a career choice someday...........


Congratulations to the students who correctly and punctually completed last week's blog math question.  The correct response is that the tax that was removed was $1 920 and the net income (gross income minus tax) is $10 880.

Here is the next question that is due on Tuesday May 2, 2017.

At a sale, shirts were sold for $15 each. This price was 80% of their original price. What was the original price?  If the HST is 13% what is the total price for the shirt when it is on sale?  Justify your thinking.
