Question 2

If 2/3 of a number is 18, what is the number?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

Accepted Answer

96 cm²

Answer

Area = length × width = 12 × 8 = 96 cm².

Question 4

An item costs $45 and the tax rate is 13%. What is the total cost including tax?

Accepted Answer

$50.85

Answer

Tax = $45 × 0.13 = $5.85, so the total is $45 + $5.85 = $50.85.

Question 5

A student completes 3/4 of a 60-question exam. How many questions remain?
