In class, we will be working on the concept of percents and how this can be applied in everyday life.
Your task is to find two examples of sales (in newspapers, store fronts, online, etc.) and compare the
original price of the item to the sale price.

For example: A television is advertised on sale for 20% off the original price. The original price is $550.
The sale price is $440.
This is just a guideline. Your work must be included and you must show how you came about the new
price of the item. You must also consider any exclusions or special circumstances with the sale (i.e. if the
sale price is based on whether or not you have purchased a warranty, the warranty price should be
included.)
Your grade for this project will be based on the following rubric.
