Assume your town has 10% sales tax.
You go to the corner store and you pick up three things costing 75 cents, 1.25 and 70 cents respectively. The owner looks at you, sizes you up, and says, that's 2.85, plus 45 cents tax, for a total of 3.40. How much did he just steal from you?
If you come armed with your own Math, you can be prepared for the Parkers of the world. (this is a true story of what a local store owner used to do to my students.) How many times did he steal money? three.
The original charge should have been 2.70. He said 2.85.
Even if 2.85 was correct. The tax should have been 28 or 29 cents. He said 45.
Even if his numbers were true, the total should have been 3.30. He said 3.40.
The tax should have been 27, for a total of 2.97. He stole 43 cents.
