  1. An item is marked up by 20% and sells for $96. What was the original cost?

    Answer: $80

    $96 represents 120% of the cost, so original cost = $96 ÷ 1.20 = $80.

  2. Order these fractions from least to greatest: 3/5, 7/10, 2/3.

    Answer: 3/5, 2/3, 7/10

    3/5 = 0.60, 2/3 ≈ 0.667, 7/10 = 0.70, so the order is 3/5, 2/3, 7/10.

  3. If 30% of a number is 45, what is the number?

    Answer: 150

    If 30% = 45, then 100% = 45 ÷ 0.30 = 150.

  4. What is 5/6 − 1/4?

    Answer: 7/12

    Common denominator is 12: 10/12 − 3/12 = 7/12.

  5. A soldier completes 60% of a 25 km march. How many kilometers remain?

    Answer: 10 km

    60% of 25 = 15 km completed, so 25 − 15 = 10 km remain.

  6. Which is larger: 5/8 or 62%?

    Answer: 5/8

    5/8 = 62.5%, which is slightly larger than 62%.
