What percentage did the price increase?

  1. 1.071%

During his senior year a high school football wide receiver was thrown 82 passes and caught 57 of them.
What is his reception percentage (what percentage of the passes thrown to him did he catch)?

  1. 30.4%
  2. 69.5%

Amanda has a 20-year term life insurance policy for $100,000. The annual premium is $ 12.00 per thousand.
How much is her total premium payment every six months?

  1. $600
  2. $1,200
  3. $100
  4. $2,400

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

There are 100 units of $1,000 in $100,000. Thus, Amanda pays 100 × $12 (or $1,200) every year in premiums, or $100 every month. Therefore, every six months, she pays 1/2 of $1,200 (or six times $100), which equals $600.
