This article compares the relative costs of various day-to-day items expressed as percentages. For each item, students must calculate the actual cost in dollars for six nations by finding the actual cost of the item in Australia (internet research required). In addition, a seventh nation must be selected that is not available in the news article, where the opposite calculations are required: finding the actual cost in the 7<sup>th<\/sup> country and then calculating the relative cost as a percentage.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" valign=\"top\" width=\"616\"><b>Assessment options : <\/b>Photograph of table; digital version of table.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" valign=\"top\" width=\"616\"><b>Teacher notes : <\/b>Don\u2019t allow students to get too hung up on the actual costs of the items: the Mathematics involved is the same regardless of the accuracy of the item cost.
