Correct Answer is C
Explanation
We need to find the amount Lana left after spending and investing another.
Lana spends=70% of $90=70/100 * 90 = $63
Amount left after spending=$(90-63) = $27
Lana is left with $27, which she will invest and earns a profit of 60%.
Profit earned=60% of $27 = 60/100 * 27 = $16.20
Therefore, Lana will have $27 + $16.20 = $43.20

Explanation
Let x be the original price of the recliner.
Step 1: Apply the 30% discount
The recliner is on sale for 30% less than the original price:
SalePrice=x−0.3x=0.7x
Step 2: Apply the 25% coupon discount
The consumer gets an additional 25% off the sale price:
FinalPrice=0.7x−0.25(0.7x) = 0.525x
Step 3: Solve for x
The consumer paid $237, so:
0.525x=237
​ x≈451.43x
Rounding to the nearest dollar, the original price is $451.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to have all options in fraction form.
74Â
 95 = 
7/8 = 3/8
0.72 = 72/100
74% = 74/100
Now, find the least common denominator of 95, 8, and 100. The least common denominator is 3800, which we multiply by each fraction as follows:
74/95*3800=2960
7/8*3800=3325
72/100*3800=2736
74/100*3800=2812
We can see that the fraction 7/8 is the greatest among the given options.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
We are required to find the percent equivalent of the given fraction.
We multiply 7/8 by 100 to convert it to percent. You convert fraction to percent.

Thus 7/8 is equal to 87.5%.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
From the cost of 45 syringes, we are required to find the cost of 5 syringes. We set up a proportion equation by letting the cost of 5 syringes to y. Besides, we let the cost to be numerator and number of syringes to be denominator as follows.

Solve the value of y by cross products


Divide both sides by 45


Therefore, 5 syringes will cost $80.00.

to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile; we find total distance and total time the athlete takes in running.
Total distance run by athlete=7+3=10 miles
Total time=45+15 =60 minutes
The athlete runs 10 miles in 60 minutes. For the athlete to cover 1 mile, he will run for a time less than 60 minutes. Thus, in 1 mile, the athlete takes:

So, in 6 minutes, the athlete covers 1 mile.

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:

Now we evaluate the above equation noting that of means multiply.

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.
