What is the 'base' in the given problem?

• $6,000

• $150,000

• $60,000

• $15,000

If the rate is less than 100%, how does the part compare to the base?

• Part is larger than the base

• Part is double the base

• Part is equal to the base

• Part is smaller than the base

What is the first step in solving the problem using the given formula?
