Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving
<span>$62..50 </span>
<span>Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. </span>
<span>Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!</span>

Answer: Choice C</h3>
P = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20
=========================================================
Explanation:
The formula we use is
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
In this case,
- P(A) = 22/80 = 11/40 = probability of picking someone from consumer education
- P(B) = 20/80 = 1/4 = probability of picking someone taking French
- P(A and B) = 4/80 = 1/20 = probability of picking someone taking both classes
So,
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
P(A or B) = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20
which is why choice C is the answer
----------------
Note: P(A and B) = 1/20 which is nonzero, so events A and B are not mutually exclusive.
