Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 – 980. 10% = 0.10 x 980 = 98

Ans 2 – 20.3%. Increase = 83 – 69 = 14. % Increase = 14 / 69 x 100 = 20.28.

Ans 3 – 17.88%. 18.06 / 101 x 100 = 17.88.

Ans 4 – $5514. Total cost = 3450 + 2450 = 5900. Cost of previous year = 5900 / 1.07 = 5514.

Ans 5 – The % more on highway cannot be seen. Just follow this to get the answer. 29 x (1 + %)

Ans 6 – Graph missing. Production in 1989 – Production in 1979 / Production in 1979 x 100

Ans 7 – 1.98. 8.6% = 0.086 x 23 = 1.978

Ans 8 – 32%. Profit = 116.16 – 88 = 28.16. Percent markup = 28.16 / 88 x 100 = 32.
