Calculate & Apply Discounts (10/25/50%)

Overview:

A set of two worksheets where students calculate the savings on items during a sale with discounts of 10%, 25% and 50%, then work out the new sale price. Designed for years 5 and 6 students.

Learning Objectives:

• Calculate savings based on percentage discounts (10%, 25%, and 50%).
• Apply the calculated savings to find the new sale price.
• Develop problem-solving skills and real-world financial literacy.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with a list of items and their original prices, along with discounts of 10%, 25% and 50%. They are tasked with calculating the savings on each item and then determining the new price by subtracting the savings from the original price. The worksheets help students practise percentage calculations and understand the impact of discounts on the final price of items.
