Marlo's Scribe Post.

B.) There wasn't a 30% increase because on the second one it was based on the first one with the 10% increase.
Copy and complete the following table. Use 5% GST and the percent of PST applicable to where you live.

  1. Great job Marlo! I liked how you typed down your questions and then showing your thinking and work using pictures to show the effort you put into doing this blog post! Some of the pictures are a little blurry though, especially the first one. To make it stand out more, maybe you should have added colours and bolded out the words or answers. I also liked how you organized your questions by titling the answers by page number and also numbered them so we could get a clearer idea of where you got the question. Maybe next time though, you should maybe type out your total answer on the bottom of the picture or next to the picture? Or for page 150, question 7 b), you should have put for our PST, that our PST was 7%. Your scribe post was very well done, but the last thing I suggest is for you to put a video and maybe possibly a helpful link or game link. Keep it up! (=
