NEED ANSWERS ASAP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Another brand of sheets is on sale 30% off with a regular price of $18.00 per sheet. Which is a better deal, the previous example or this one? Explain. (2 points)

c) The three oldest children need shoes. You find a store that has shoes on sale. All shoes in the store are marked $10 per pair. You have a choice of “Three for the price of two” or “Buy one and get 25% off the second.” Which of these is the best deal? Explain your reasoning. (2 points)

Step 2: Calculating the amount of a discount using a percentage discount

a) Katie and Jill currently share a dresser, and each would like to have one of her own. As a valued member at the local furniture store, you receive an additional discount off each purchase. Calculate the amount of discount off each item. (2 points)

b) Which is the better price—17% off $35 or 12% off $32? Explain. (2 points)

Step 3: Using Equivalent Ratios

a) The family likes peaches and other fruits. The local farmer’s market is selling fresh peaches at a discounted price. If the farmer’s market sold 35% of its produce and has 280 peaches remaining, how many peaches did it originally have on hand? Show all your work and explain how you used equivalent ratios to solve the problem. (2 points)

b) The peaches are priced at three for $2. How much does one dozen cost? Write an equivalent ratio to find the answer. Show your work. (2 points)

Step 4: Finding the percentage of a number using equivalent ratios
a) Suppose you got these results from a survey that was taken to determine the percentage of people in a nearby city who visited a food pantry last month. (2 points)

People who visited the food pantry last month Total amount of people
in the city
(%) x (%) 100
(#) 150 (#) 1,000

Calculate the percentage of people who visited the food pantry last month. Be sure to show your work.

b) On average, about 240 people visit a local food pantry every day in search of groceries. On an extremely cold day, visitors to the food pantry can be 175% of the average amount. About how many visitors might go to the food pantry on an extremely cold day? (2 points)

Step 5: Finding a percent of a number using multiplication

a) The newborn baby, Jake, needs some supplies. Jake’s mom gave you this list of things he needs. You and your friend have agreed to spend $115 of the $300 on Jake. You spend 15% of it on a new blanket, 25% of it on toys, and 40% of it on clothes. How much money do you have left to spend on diapers for Jake?

Step 6: Problem solving with percents

a) If the sales tax is 7% on all purchases, how much must you set aside for sales tax on $300? Show your work. (2 points)

b) You started with $300, and you spent $115 on Jake. You also set aside money to cover the sales tax on $300. Now it’s your turn to decide exactly what you will purchase with the money you have left. You calculated the costs and best prices for sheets, shoes, dressers, and peaches, but you didn’t buy anything yet. Now it’s time to make your purchases. Make a list of the things you will buy and how much each items cost. Explain your purchasing decisions. (2 points)
