Grade 10 Mathematical Literacy - Tariffs

Introduction

Good Morning Students.

I welcome you to the new month of the year and hope that we will all progress well.

The purpose of this webquest is for you to understand what tariffs are by doing ample research and then writing an essay of why tariffs are being used in our day to day lives.

The main focus will be the different types of Tariffs that the consumer has.

I have attached a video below of a brief explanation of tariffs and the different tariffs there are.
