Spelling - Unit 32 is due on Friday. Be sure you are working on the unit!
Literature - We read from Tom Sawyer today and the class took a quiz over chapters 10-15.
Math - Lesson 7-10, #2-15. Finding sales tax. For #2-12, remember to first change the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the right. Then multiply by the amount. Here is an example:
After you've found the sales tax, you will then find the total cost by adding the sales tax to the marked price. In the above example, you would also have $37.40 as the total price as part of the answer. There are two parts to each problem on #2-12!
For the pecents that have a fraction in them, you will do this:
For the problems on the back, just look up the price in the table to find what the sales tax is. Just add this to the price! It's easier as you don't have to multiply your percent.
