Answer 11

Martha estimated there were 84 marbles in a jar for a contest. The actual number of marbles in the jar was 106. What was the percent error of Martha's estimation?

Would it be 22%?

Answer 12

So, percentage is given by :
\[\% \ attendence = \frac{Attended \ days}{Total \ Days} \times 100\]

Answer 13

Umm, would it?

Erm.. I need help with this one......

Nathan took his car in for service and repairs. He had a coupon for 10% off.

Original Prices
• Labor $242.30
• Parts $324.53
• Other $66.02

Which amount is closest to Nathan's total costs after the 10% discount and including 7% sales tax? [Assume tax is applied after the discount is applied.]

Answer 19

Second one most likely

Answer 20

Sorry, you guys carry on.. OS is not upto the mark for me today. :(

Answer 21

:(

Answer 22

The second one would be:

106-84 = 22
22/106 = 20.75%

Answer 23

Oh, what about the third one?

Answer 24

Labor -$242.30

$242.30 x .10 = $24.23 discount
$242.30 - $24.23 = 218.07 after discount and before tax
$218.07 x 0.07 = $15.26 + $218.07 = $233.33 after discount and tax

Parts - $324.53

$324.53 x .10 = $35.45 discount
$324.53 - $35.45 = $289.08 after discount and before tax
$289.08 x 0.07 = $20.24 + $289.08 = $309.32 after discount and tax

Other - $66.02

$66.02 x .10 = $6.60 discount
$66.02 - $6.60 =$59.42 after discount and before tax
$59.42 x 0.07 = $4.16 + $59.42 = $63.58 after discount and tax

Answer 25

I don't know if that is how you wanted the answer..

Answer 26

I found the answer.

Answer 27

Did it want you to add them all first. Apply the discount then tax?
