Read the first 7 Percent and Ratio flashcards as text

  1. A shirt costs $40 and is marked down by 25%. What is the sale price?

    Answer: $30

    25% of $40 is $10, so $40 - $10 = $30.

  2. The ratio of cats to dogs at a shelter is 3:5. If there are 24 cats, how many dogs are there?

    Answer: 40

    Each part equals 24 ÷ 3 = 8, so dogs = 5 × 8 = 40.

  3. What is 15% of 200?

    Answer: 30

    15% of 200 = 0.15 × 200 = 30.

  4. A recipe uses flour and sugar in a 4:1 ratio. If you use 12 cups of flour, how much sugar is needed?

    Answer: 3 cups

    Sugar = 12 ÷ 4 = 3 cups since the ratio is 4:1.

  5. A number increased from 50 to 65. What is the percent increase?

    Answer: 30%

    Increase is 15; 15 ÷ 50 = 0.30, which is 30%.

  6. If 6 pencils cost $1.50, what is the cost of 10 pencils at the same rate?

    Answer: $2.50

    Each pencil costs $0.25, so 10 × $0.25 = $2.50.

  7. What percent is 18 out of 90?

    Answer: 20%

    18 ÷ 90 = 0.20, which equals 20%.
