      This week we are learning how to calculate a % of a quantity.  We can do this two ways:
      - Finding 10% then adjusting eg. 10% of $600 is $60, therefore 30% would be $60 x 3 = $ 180 
      - Or, converting the % to a decimal, then multiplying the quantity by the decimal. eg. $600 x 0.3 = $180
