  1. What is 15% of 80?

    Answer: 12

    15% of 80 = 0.15 × 80 = 12. Or: 10% of 80 = 8; 5% of 80 = 4; total = 12.

  2. Simplify the fraction 18/24.

    Answer: 3/4

    The GCF of 18 and 24 is 6. 18 ÷ 6 = 3; 24 ÷ 6 = 4. So 18/24 = 3/4.

  3. What is 3/4 + 2/3?

    Answer: 17/12

    Convert to a common denominator of 12: 3/4 = 9/12 and 2/3 = 8/12. Sum = 17/12.

  4. Which of the following is the correct order from least to greatest: 0.3, 1/4, 0.35, 2/5?

    Answer: 1/4, 0.3, 0.35, 2/5

    Convert all to decimals: 1/4=0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 2/5=0.40. Order: 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40 → 1/4, 0.3, 0.35, 2/5.

  5. A number increased by 40% gives 84. What is the original number?

    Answer: 60

    If x × 1.40 = 84, then x = 84 ÷ 1.40 = 60.

  6. What is the value of the expression 5 + 3 × (8 − 2) ÷ 6?

    Answer: 8

    Following BEDMAS: brackets first (8−2=6), then 3×6=18, then 18÷6=3, then 5+3=8.
