I think I remember that the tax is a percentage of the original price, but I'm confused about how to set it up correctly.

This seems similar to that practice question about calculating sales tax. I think I need to subtract the original price from the total first.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. The document that triggers the start of the ADM cycle is the Request for Architecture Work. I'm confident that's the correct answer.
