A window through the walls of our classroom. This is an interactive learning ecology for students and parents in my Consumer Math 20S class. This ongoing dialogue is as rich as YOU make it. Visit often and post your comments freely.
Step 5: Take the Tax and the Sale Price and add the two together. It will give you the Total Cost of the item.
$18.70 + $2.62 = $21.32
Step 6: You are completely done the question and you got very pricey socks and underwear ;) (But Holy God, that must be some pretty good socks and underwear)
Remember that if you are finding PST and GST, DON'T combine the two taxes when you calculate them. LEAVE THEM SEPARATED OR CONCEQUENCES WILL BE WAITING.
Remember to study and then we can all have a Britney Spears party =O If you don't study, cellulite will haunt you forever =OO
Mr.Kuropatwa had told us about taxes and how they change every year. He also mentioned a thing or two about what kind of things were never taxed. Such as books, because they contain information to educate, and food because its basic requirement.
Goods & Services Tax
Some examples of GST would be:
Provincial Sales Tax
Example:
Some provinces have HST such as New Brunswick, P.E.I and Quebec. HST stands for Harmonized Sales Tax.
We were given an example to find the Final price of a new computer when taxes are included
EXAMPLE: Dave lives in Nelson, British columbia. How much tax will he have to pay to buy a new computer that costs $2565.00? What will be the final price when taxes are included.
Step (1) Look for B.C tax, PST: (7%) GST (6%)
(2) Find 6% (6/100=0.06)
Find 7% (7/100=0.07)
(3) Multiply the percentage by the cost of the computer:
GST: 0.06 x $2565.00 = $153.90
PST: 0.07 x 2565.00 = $179.55
(4) To find the total tax, add the PST and GST together to get the answer:
$153.90 + $179.55 = $333.45

Using the spreadsheet above as a reference, this is how you'd determine which cell it is. The highlighted box is under the "B" column, and located in the "2" row, therefore it is cell "B2".
When you know which cell you're supposed to put content in, then its pretty straight forward. If you're typing in a label, you should type NOTHING other than letters or words, with the acception of dates and such. If you're typing in a formula, letters and numbers are allowed, but you MUST remember to place an equal sign (=) before it, or it won't work the way it should. If you were to type in a value, there should be NOTHING but numbers in that cell.
When you put a label into your spreadsheet, it should automatically align to the left of the cell, unless it is further formatted. Opposite of labels, values are automatically aligned to the right of the cell, again, unless it is further formatted. Formulas are similar to labels, they are aligned to the left, and then automatically calculated to show the answer. You'll find that when you type the formula in, the answer will show up in the cell, but in the textbox, the formula is still there.
Speaking of formulas, there are a variety of formulas that are already there for you to use. You can find them all listed under the 'formulas' tab just along the top of the actual spreadsheet. Not all spreadsheet programs are the same, so you might have to search for a button that says 'formulas'. Formulas make spreadsheets all the more easier to work with, because it does all you're calculations for you automatically, the only thing you have to do is make sure the formula that you put in is correct, and that you didn't leave out the equal sign.
Examples of commonly used formulas are:
[ & ] = SUM(A2:G2) , OR , = SUM(A2+B2+C2+D2+E2+F2+G2)
... .... > to add cell values together .
[ & ] = A2*B2
..... .. > to multiply two cells together .
[ & ] = SUM(A2:A7)/2
... .... > to add multiple cells together , then divide by two .
[ & ] = AVERAGE(C2:C9)
....... > to find the average of multiple cells .
Spreadsheets are a good way to keep track of everything, especially when it comes to banking. Its easy to understand, quick to do, simple to access, and a big plus, no paper work OR self calculating!
[ ! ] GOOD LUCK ON THE TEST :)

Today, we started our class with ten mental math question, the first five question is about spreadsheet and the second five question is about how to solve 9 multiply by two number, for example: 9x43

The geese who inhabit the wildlife preserve where we walk each day are pretty much gone, having migrated south before the snow flies. I wonder did you see them, too, heading south for the winter flying along in "V" formation? Do you know what science has discovered as to why they fly that way?
FACT 1 - As each Goose flaps its wings it creates uplift for the birds that follow. By flying in a V formation, the whole flock adds 71 per cent greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.
FACT 2 - When a Goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it.
FACT 3 - When the lead Goose tires, it rotates back into the formation and another Goose flies to the point position.
FACT 4 - The Geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
FACT 5 - When a Goose gets sick, wounded or shot down, two Geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.
Are there lessons we can learn from a gaggle of geese? What do you think?
