A clerk’s weekly salary of $320 is increased to $360. The percent increase is .

  1. 101⁄2%
  2. 11%
  3. 121⁄2%
  4. 12%

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Subtract the original salary from the new salary to get the difference in salary: $360 – $320 = $40. Then divide the difference in salary ($40) by the original salary ($320) to determine the percent increase: 40 ÷ 320 = 0.125 = 12.5%.



Two go-carts are racing on a circular track with a perimeter of 360 feet. Camera One is following Go-Cart One, and Camera Two is following Go-Cart Two.
If the angle between the two cameras is 40 degrees, how far apart are the two go-carts?

  1. 30 feet
  2. 40 feet
  3. 300 feet
  4. 400 feet

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A circle is 360 degrees, so 40 degrees is 1⁄9 of a circle (360 ÷ 40 = 9). To get the answer of 40 feet, multiply the perimeter of the track 1⁄9 (360 × 1⁄9 = 40).
