Finding Discount Exit Ticket

When you complete the Finding Discount Exit Ticket, you get a simple yet powerful way to show what you know about discounts. This playsheet asks you to take an original price and apply a percentage discount to find how much money you save. As you solve each problem, you turn numbers into real-world decisions—just like a smart shopper does.

As you read each scenario, you’ll notice that every discount begins with a percentage. You’ll multiply the original price by that percentage to find the amount saved. Then you’ll subtract the discount from the cost to get the new sale price. These steps help you understand how percentages affect everyday purchases, making math feel useful and practical.

You’ll also enjoy the challenge of comparing different discounts. Some items might be cheaper at first but offer a smaller percentage off, while others may cost more but provide greater savings. By thinking carefully, you’ll learn how to evaluate each situation, choose the best deal, and explain your reasoning. These skills prepare you for budgeting, shopping, and real-life financial decisions.
