Find each number. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

18 is 30% of what number?

• 60

• 54

• 6

• 90

Answer explanation

The question asks for the number which when reduced by 50% equals to 14. To find this, we divide 14 by 0.5 (which is the decimal equivalent of 50%). This gives us 28. So, 14 is 50% of 28.

Determine the percent of change. Round to the nearest whole percent if necessary. Indicate whether the percent of change is an increase or a decrease.

Original: 80

New: 50

• 37% decrease

• 37% increase

• 60% increase

• 60% decrease

Answer explanation

The question asks us to find the percent of change from 55 to 30. We do this by subtracting the new value from the original, then dividing by the original, and multiplying by 100. This gives us a percentage change of 45%. Since the new value is less than the original, this represents a 45% decrease.

Determine the TOTAL COST (not just the tax) to the nearest cent.

$800 Laptop, 7% tax

• $816

• $680

• $56

• $856

Answer explanation

The question asks for the total cost including the 8% tax on a $700 computer. To calculate this, multiply $700 by 8% to get the tax amount, which is $56. Add this to the original cost of the computer, $700 + $56 = $756. So, the correct answer is $756.
