  1. 11
  2. 9

If you lost 4% of your original weight of 168, what would you now weigh?

  1. 161.28
  2. 160.75
  3. 159.24
  4. 164.20

To figure out what 4% is, 168 is multiplied by 0.04 to get 6.72. Then 6.72 is subtracted from 168 to get 161.28.



12.5 × 24.6 = ?

  1. 307.5
  2. 308.7
  3. 366.5
  4. 327.3

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When doing manual multiplication (without the aid of a calculator), multiply 12.5 by 24.6 as if there were no decimals involved. Thus, 125 × 246 =30750. Count the decimal places in the numbers 12.5 and 24.6 - it’s easy to see that there are 2 decimal places. Going back to the product we initially computed, 30750; move the decimal, which we assume to be at the end of the last digit, 2 places to the left. This gives us the correct answer, 307.5. With the calculator, though, simply press the given numbers and the required math operation sign to arrive at the correct answer.



What is 8.4 + 2.3 + 0.05?

  1. 10.705
  2. 11.2
  3. 10.75
  4. 10.25

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When adding numbers with decimals manually, write the numbers (called addends) in a column observing correct alignment as to place value and decimal.
Write 8.4, then write 2.3 below it, then write 0.05 still below the two numbers. Add vertically. When the addends are written this way, it’s easy to see that the sum is 10.75.
When adding with a calculator, simply key in the given numbers with properly placed decimals and the sign of addition to get the correct sum.
