Answer:
James answered 51 questions correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Slide the decimal 2 places to the left in the percentage (85% = .85)
2) Multiply total by new decimal (60 x .85)
3) All done! (51)
Keep in mind that 100% is just 1 whole. Therefor 85% of one whole is .85. In this problem, 60 represents our whole.
since the original price was ninety we have to multiply 5/6 by 90
90/1(5/6)
=450/6
=75
Before her promotion, Mitch was receiving $40,000 per year
after tax. Since the loan payment is 4%, therefore the money that goes to the
loan is:
Loan payment = $40,000 * 0.04
Loan payment = $1,600
After her promotion, Mitch is now receiving:
New salary = $40,000
* 1.25
New salary = $50,000
Therefore the new loan payment becomes:
New loan payment = $50,000 * 0.04
New loan payment = $2,000
Therefore Mitch is paying an extra payment of:
$2,000 - $1,600 = $400
Answer: $400
