Answer 1

The Sales Tax is percent: Increase because it is going upward and you're adding on

Discount is percent: Decrease because it is downward and because you're taking a certain amount off

Tip is percent : Increase because you're giving in and it kind of like the "Sales Tax"

Therefore, your answers would have to be: Increase,Decrease, and Increase :)

Sales Tax would be considered a) percent increase, because it is an added amount onto the total. Discount would be considered b) percent decrease, because it takes a certain amount off of your total. Tip would be considered a) percent increase, because similar to sales tax, you must add it on to your total.
