Question 1 of 6
1. Question
A car went on sale for 80% of its original price. If the sales price of the car was $20,000, which of the following was the car’s original price?
Correct
The correct answer is B. This question asks you to find the original price of the car. We know that 80% of this price is $20,000. We can use this information to find the original price. First, change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal to the left two places: 80% = 0.80. Next, use the formula for calculating percentage: original price x 0.80 = $20,000. Divide $20,000 by 0.80 to find the original price. The correct answer is $25,000.

Question 2 of 6
2. Question
The number of patients seen at a medical clinic decreased from 460 to 375 in the month of January. Which of the following is the percent decrease to the nearest tenth of a precent?
Correct
The correct answer is A. First, find the amount of decrease in patients seen. Subtract the final number of patients from the original number: 460 – 375 = 85. The number of patients seen decreased by 85. Now divide the amount of the decrease by the original number of patients: 85 ÷ 460 is approximately 0.1848. The percent decrease is about 0.1848, which can be converted to 18.48% and rounded up to 18.5%.
