Question 1

You multiply any number from 1 to 0 by 1,000. The solutions must be:

Accepted Answer

between 0 and 1000

Answer

When you multiply any number between 0 and 1 (exclusive of 1, inclusive of 0) by 1,000, the result will always be less than 1,000. For example, 0 * 1000 = 0, and 0.5 * 1000 = 500. Thus, the solution will always fall within the range of 0 to 1000.

Question 2

Henry makes a $500 stock investment. The stock generates an 8% return on his investment in the first year. How much money does Henry have at the end of the first year if he sells his stock?

Accepted Answer

$540.00

Answer

To calculate the return, multiply the initial investment by the percentage return: $500 * 0.08 = $40. This $40 is the profit Henry made from his investment. Adding this profit to the original investment gives the total amount Henry has: $500 + $40 = $540.00.

Question 3

When a client of a realtor buys or sells a home, the realtor receives a 3% commission. What percentage of a $340,000 home's sale price goes toward the realtor's commission?

Accepted Answer

$10,200

Answer

To find the realtor's commission, convert the percentage to a decimal (3% = 0.03) and multiply it by the home's sale price. Therefore, 0.03 multiplied by $340,000 equals $10,200. This is the dollar amount the realtor receives as commission.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Over the period of 50 school days, a student missed 5 days of class. What percentage of the day was the student in class?

Accepted Answer

90%

Answer

First, determine the number of days the student was in class: 50 total days - 5 missed days = 45 days in class. To find the percentage, divide the days in class by the total days and multiply by 100: (45 / 50) * 100 = 0.90 * 100 = 90%.
