Hey bloggers and welcome back to another one of my blogs for the week. In maths, we learnt about percentages again. There were 3 questions and 2 extensions. If you would like to answer the questions, here they are.

Question 1

Mereana buys the latest i-phone 12 for $1420.00 after getting a 15%

discount. How much did the i-phone 12 cost before the discount?

Question 2:

Brent knows that Mr Williams is taking rugby training on Thursday, and so

goes to Rebel Sport to get the best shoulder pads, mouth guard and head

gear he can find!

Each item costs $47.00. They have a protective gear set which includes all

three items that cost $155.00, but is on special with a 10% discount. What

is the cheapest option for Brent?

Question 3:

Part 1: Beth, Cleo and Grace have been asked to research Electric Bikes so

that the school can buy one for a teacher to use when they are on ‘bike

track’ duty at lunchtimes. They find a beautiful rainbow colored one with a

flashing red light, an air horn and a microphone and speaker. It costs

$5750 after a 13% discount is applied. How much should they tell Ms Earl

the school needs for this bike?

Part 2: Ms Earl is thrilled with the bike that Beth, Cleo and Grace have

chosen, and decides that as well as one for the duty teacher, that Shane

should have one to ride around on for his caretaker duties! If the school

buys two, the discount is 25% off the total price. When Ms Earl finds out

the price of two bikes, she is not so happy. Why?

What's your favourite type of strategy in maths?

Hey there and welcome back to another one of my blogs for the week. For Maths this week, our goal was Solve problems with fractions, decimals, proportions and ratios using a broad range of strategies (Addition & Subtraction PV Decimal) & (Express remainders as fractions, decimal or whole numbers) Knowledge: (Convert decimals, fractions & %s). Pretty much, we learnt about percentages. I don't really like percentages that much but I'm fine with it. Did you know that percent means of hundred?

Per = of

Cent = 100

Cent is 100 because cent is actually a short version of century.

What're your thoughts on percentages?

Hey there and welcome back to another one of my blogs for the week. This week for writing, we had to keep writing about our persuasive text that I talked about in my last blog.  Here's what I've written so far.

I think that poverty is one of the greatest problems that the world faces today. The pay gap for different countries compared to the countries that are living in poverty is massive. Technology should be spread into those countries equally. Food should be donated on the daily until those countries can start their own mini garden maybe.

Have you ever wrote a speech and if so, what was it about?
