Q #1: Lana has $90. She spends 70% of the money. She then invests the remaining amount and earns a profit of 60%. How much money does she now have?
A. $16.20
B. $84.20
C. $43.20
D. $27.00
Answer Explanation
We need to find the amount Lana left after spending and investing another.
Lana spends=70% of $90=70/100 * 90 = $63
Amount left after spending=$(90-63) = $27
Lana is left with $27, which she will invest and earns a profit of 60%.
Profit earned=60% of $27 = 60/100 * 27 = $16.20
Therefore, Lana will have $27 + $16.20 = $43.20

Q #2: A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $58.60. They wish to leave a 16% gratuity. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?
A. $8.48
B. $6.40
C. $9.38
D. $7.00
Answer Explanation
In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:
- Is means equals
- Of means multiply
- What means unknown (variable)
If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:
Now we evaluate the above equation noting that of means multiply.
So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38
There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

Q #3: Which of the following is the greatest value?
A. 74÷95
B. 7/8
C. 0.72
D. 74%
Answer Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to have all options in fraction form.
74
95 = 
7/8 = 3/8
0.72 = 72/100
74% = 74/100
Now, find the least common denominator of 95, 8, and 100. The least common denominator is 3800, which we multiply by each fraction as follows:
74/95*3800=2960
7/8*3800=3325
72/100*3800=2736
74/100*3800=2812
We can see that the fraction 7/8 is the greatest among the given options.
