Hello i am in grade 9 and we are currently covering this in my math unit. This will work in ANY case:

when you have a whole number you present it over one and when you have a percent, over 100, remember to make sure your fractions are cross reduced (in lowest terms). okay so...

remember to multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

70 x 5 (lowest terms) -- 70 x 1 = 70/20 20 goes into 70 3 times plus 10 left over

1 100 1 x 20

so, 3 10/20 is the same as $3.50

and tax would be adding on to the sale price, therefore $70.00 + $3.50 = $73.50

I hoped this helped you

Bye!
