A product originally costs $125.
If the product goes on sale for 20% off, and then goes on sale for an additional 30% off, what is the price of the product?

  1. $62.50
  2. $70
  3. $65
  4. $90

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

You need to apply the discounts successively not just add the discounts. So $125 × 80% = $100 (price after original 20% discount). $100 × 70% = $70 the price after the 2nd 30% discount.



A digital video recorder is programmed to record a TV show that lasts for a half hour.
If the digital video recorder has enough memory left to hold 180 minutes of recording, what percentage of the remaining capacity is used for this recording?

  1. 162/3%
  2. 30%
  3. 60%
  4. 331/3%

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A half-hour is 30 minutes.
The portion of 180 minutes represented by 30 minutes is 30/180 or 1/6. As a percentage, 1/6 is 162/3%.



On a trip to the beach you travel 200 miles in 300 minutes.
How fast did you travel?

  1. 30 mph
  2. 40 mph
  3. 50 mph
  4. 60 mph

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

First convert the 300 minutes to hours by dividing by 60 (300 ÷ 60 = 5 hours). Use the distance formula (d = rt) and substitute the known values. 300 = 5r. r = 40.



21 students, or 60% of the class, passed the final exam.
How many students are in the class?

  1. 45
  2. 40
  3. 35
  4. 30

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Let x = the number of people in the class.
60% of x = 21, so 0.60x = 21.
x = 35.



Joan invests $4,000 in an account that earns 3% simple interest.
How much will Joan have in the account in 10 years?

  1. $4,500
  2. $4,800
  3. $5,200
  4. $5,400

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Use the interest formula (I = Prt) to determine the amount of interest earned, where the principle (P) is 4,000, the rate (r) is 0.03 (3%) and the time (t) is 10. I = 4,000(0.03)(10), or I = $1,200. Add the interest earned to the original amount invested. $4,000 + $1,200 = $5,200.
