The list price of a TV set is $325, but the retailer offers successive discounts of 20% and 30%.
What price does a customer actually pay?

  1. $182.00
  2. $270.00
  3. $162.50
  4. $176.67

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The first discount of 20% means that a customer actually pays 80% (or 4/5) of the list price. The second successive discount of 30% means that a customer actually pays 70% (or 3/10) of the price determined after the first discount.
The price the customer actually pays is the list price multiplied by the portions determined from each discount.



A certain brand of motor oil is regularly sold at a price of two cans holding a quart each for $1.99. On a special sale, a carton containing six quart cans is sold for $5.43.
What is the saving per quart if the oil is bought at the special sale price?

  1. $0.27
  2. $0.09
  3. $0.54
  4. $0.541/4

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

At 2 quarts for $1.99, each quart costs $0.995. At 6 quarts for $5.43, each quart costs $0.905.
$0.995 - $0.905 = $0.905



A company spends 3/5 of its advertising budget on newspaper ads and 1/3 on radio commercials.
What portion of the advertising budget is left for TV commercials?

  1. 1/2
  2. 7/30
  3. 1/15
  4. 1/8

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

3/5 + 1/3 = 9/15 + 5/15 = 14/15.
The portion left for TV commercials is the entire budget, 1, minus portion spent on newspaper and radio 14/15.
1 - 14/15 = 15/15 ­ 14/15 = 1/15
