    The share of customers who were satisfied rose from 60% to 66%. By how many percentage points did it rise?

  10. 第10题,共18题

    The share of customers who were satisfied rose from 60% to 66%. What is the percentage increase in the satisfaction rate?
    显示答案

    Percentage change = change ÷ starting value × 100 = 6 ÷ 60 × 100 = 10%. This is different from the 6-percentage-point rise.

  11. 第11题,共18题

    After a 25% discount, a jacket costs $60. What was the price before the discount?
    显示答案

    答案: A. $80

    After a 25% discount you pay 75% of the price. Original = 60 ÷ 0.75 = $80. Adding 25% to $60 gives $75, which is wrong because 25% was taken from the original price.

  12. 第12题,共18题

    A bill is $189.00 including 5% tax. What was the amount before tax?
    显示答案

    答案: A. $180.00

    The bill is 105% of the pre-tax amount. Pre-tax = 189 ÷ 1.05 = $180.00. Taking 5% off $189 gives $179.55, which is wrong.

  13. 第13题,共18题

    Sales were $5,000 in February. They rose 10% in March, then fell 10% in April. What were April sales?
    显示答案

    答案: B. $4,950

    March = 5,000 × 1.10 = $5,500. April = 5,500 × 0.90 = $4,950. The 10% fall is taken from the bigger March figure, so you do not get back to $5,000.

    显示答案

    答案: B. 36%

    Total = 500. South share = 180 ÷ 500 × 100 = 36%.

  15. 第15题,共18题

    A cleaning product is mixed 1 part concentrate to 24 parts water. How much concentrate is in 5 litres of mixed solution?
    显示答案

    答案: C. 200 mL

    1 + 24 = 25 parts in total. 5 L = 5,000 mL. One part = 5,000 ÷ 25 = 200 mL of concentrate. Dividing by 24 forgets the concentrate itself is a part.

    Shop A grew from $200,000 to $220,000 (10%). Shop B grew from $800,000 to $840,000 (5%). What was the percentage growth of the two shops combined?
    显示答案

    答案: B. 6.0%

    Combine the totals: from $1,000,000 to $1,060,000, a rise of $60,000. 60,000 ÷ 1,000,000 × 100 = 6.0%. A simple average of 10% and 5% ignores that Shop B is much bigger.
