=media type="custom" key="6394359"= = = = = =Welcome to Group 1E's Math Wiki. Our topic is Proportions, Ratios, and Percents. Percents, Ratios, and Proportions can be used in sales tax, commission, and discounts. Our video is based on Scooby Doo. The video is about three boys walking into a haunted house after hearing a mysterious scream, to find out what it was. When they walk in, they find a dress for $125 with 15% discount and 7% sales tax. The main problem of the story is the boys trying to find the pricetag so they know if they have enough money or not. They finally figure out that there isn't a price tag, just a monster guarding it. After a long chase, they finally catch the monster and find out that they do have enough money to buy it.= Here is the work we used to find out how much the dress costs:

Discount: 125 x .15 = $18.75 125 - 18.76 = $106.25

Tax: 106.25 x .07 = $7.44 106.25 + 7.44 = $113.69

Total Cost: $113.69
