A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $58.60. They wish to leave a 16% gratuity. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?
$8.48
$6.40
$9.38
$7.00
Correct Answer : C
In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:
- Is means equals
- Of means multiply
- What means unknown (variable)
If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:
So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38
There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

     Â
Or
       Â
The question requires we find the amount of ammonia needed to make 230 gallons of the solution. So, we use the second option and proceed as follows:
         Â
From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.
Therefore, the solution will require 1380 oz of ammonia.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Before we compare the values of the options, we convert the decimals to fractions.
5.4 becomes 54/10
6.25 becomes 625/100
Thus, the set of fractions is 11/2, 54/10, 13/3, 625/100. The least common denominator for 2, 10, 3, and 100 is 300, which we use to compare each options given.
11/2*300=1650
54/10*300=1620
13/3*300=1300
625/100*300=1875
From the above, 1875 is the greatest value which corresponds to 6.25. Therefore, 6.25 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.
First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is two times width. Mathematically, this means
Length=2*width=2*x=2x
Now, the length is 6 less than 2 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:
Length =2x-6
Thus, the length of the rectangle is 2x-6.

But r=4.5
Â
Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25 Â in2.
NOTE:Â Â is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
we are asked to find the largest value from the options given. To solve this problem, we need to convert all the given values into fraction. Then find the least common denominator for all fractions, which we will use to multiply each fraction and make a comparison.
43÷55=43/55
5/7
0.729=729/1000
73%=73/100
Now, we need to find the least common denominator of 55, 7, 1000, and 100, which is 77000. We multiply each fraction by 77000 as follows:
43/55*77000=60200
5/7*77000=55000
729/1000*77000=56133
73/100*77000=56210
Â
From the calculated values, it can be noted that 43/55 is the greatest value among the given options.
