  1. A TAP applied math question: a store marks up merchandise 30%. If the cost is $45, what is the selling price?

    Answer: $58.50

    Markup = 30% × $45 = $13.50; selling price = $45 + $13.50 = $58.50.

  2. On the TAP, if a train travels 420 miles in 6 hours, what is its average speed?

    Answer: 70 mph

    Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 420 ÷ 6 = 70 mph.

  3. A TAP problem: a class has 18 girls and 12 boys. What percent of the class are girls?

    Answer: 60%

    Total = 30; percent girls = 18/30 × 100 = 60%.

  4. On the TAP, which expression correctly represents 'a number increased by 7 is equal to 15'?

    Answer: x + 7 = 15

    'Increased by' means addition, so the equation is x + 7 = 15.

  5. A TAP applied math problem: after a 15% tax, a meal costs $34.50. What was the price before tax?

    Answer: $30.00

    $34.50 ÷ 1.15 = $30.00.

  6. On the TAP, what is the next number in the sequence: 2, 6, 18, 54, ___?

    Each term is multiplied by 3: 54 × 3 = 162.
