How to add percentages to numbers Word Problems (Alberta Grade 7 curriculum)

Example

Janis goes to a restaurant and spends $32.45 dollars. There is a 5% GST tax and she leaves a 15% percent tip. How much is the total bill?

Steps

1.) Add both percentages together. 15 + 5 = 20. Therefore, treat this as adding 20% to the bill.

2.) Convert the percentage into a decimal. Percent means out of a hundred, which means we can convert to a fraction as well. This turns into 20/100. If still stuck on how to get a decimal, divide the fraction. The answer will be 0.20.

3.) Multiply aforementioned decimal by original number. This will be 6.49.

4.) Add the product and original number together. That is your final answer. ($38.94.)

Hiya!!!! Hope ur doing well :3

One of things I love about Dazai's past is how it forces you to rethink the idea that "X character is irredeemable", because whilst all characters in BSD are morally grey, Dazai is one of the best examples of it.

Everything every "evil" or "bad" character has done in BSD Dazai has probably also done, and if he hasn't, he's fully capable of doing it, if he wanted to. We especially see that in the Beast timeline, but main timeline Dazai isn't above underhanded tactics, manipulation and criminal activities if it serves him and the people he cares about.

Yet, he's one of the "good guys", we root for him because he's in the Agency and fighting for the light.

You can't say Mori or Fyodor, or Ace, or Fukuchi, or Gide, or Verlaine, or Rimbaud, or any other antagonist is irredeemable without also labeling Dazai as irredeemable.

The Dazai we see in the current manga is still the same person who committed all those awful acts in the past. The only reason he's helping people now because it was a dying friend's request and then he realized he likes doing it.

His "redemption" is a completely selfish one and BSD says that's okay. He does it for himself and he didn't actually pay any penance for the crimes he committed.

To accept that Dazai gets to do this, means accepting that every antagonist, every "evil" character has the right to that opportunity too. Like how Mori gets that opportunity in the Beast timeline. The only thing stopping a character's redemption is their own choices.

my mama told me she watched this when she was younger 💔 its SO UNSERIOUS

the degrassi junior high episodes are so WEIRD why did i just watch 30 minutes of people talking about gay rumors. theres like 70 episodes of this one toooo

HUH???

Hola, soy el amiga de Maxx 🧡, ella me está dejando postear un par de cosas por acá

public service announcement for all skk and skk-adjacent writers out there:

it may be very tempting to go from Dazai calling Chuuya "petit mafia" (like some translations I can't find right now do) to an endearing pet name like using the French possessive form and get "mon petit mafia". HOWEVER, that string of words makes absolutely no sense in French:

The word "mafia" is feminine, so it should be "ma petite mafia" (my little mafia [organization])

"mafia" only refers to the group/organization, so unless you want Dazai to refer to Chuuya as his own mafia (which you could), the French translation of "mafioso" is "mafieux" (masc) or "mafieuse" (fem), for "mon petit mafieux" (my little mafioso), but you could also use mafioso as-is as the original Italian word.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk 👍
