  1. 3 is A $4,187 and 4 is D $6.08
  2. $3950 * 1.06 = $4187... (A) $1.93 * 3 * 1.05 = $6.0795 rounded up to $6.08... (D) A percentage (like sales tax) + original of an amount is figured out as xx% = 1.xx (i.e. total + 6% is 1.06, total + 15% is 1.15). The second question is a cost per yard plus the sales tax, so each unit (yard of cloth) has to be multiplied by the quantity (three yards) and then times the percentage + total (+5% -> 1.05).
  3. Nope, 3A is right but the correct answer for 4 is D
  4. There is a calculator built into every computer but I doubt that it would help him!
  5. 3. A $4,187. 4. D $6.08
  6. its A. 3950.00 X .06 (6%) -------- 23700=237.00 3950.00 + 237.00 -------- 4187.00 Number 2 is B 1.93 X 3 ---- 5.79 5.79 X .05 --------- .2895 5.79 +.2895 ___________ 6.0795 > 6.08
