OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Okay. Let me get them

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

First one: What is 16% of 25? A. 64 B. 16 C. 6 D. 4 I am going to say this one, but this is just a guess.

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Okay well what can we rule out?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

64 and 16? I think....

OpenStudy (decarr432):

64 is yes and 16 is yes they are no good

OpenStudy (decarr432):

How why do you think 4 is the correct answer?

OpenStudy (decarr432):

now*

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

I am not sure.... It was just a guess.

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Well you are awesome at guessing we found that out last night haha

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Thank you. So the answer is 4? Why is the answer 4?

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Simply pull up your calculator if you have one near or use th eone on google or on your pc lol

OpenStudy (decarr432):

then simply put 25+16% and it will tell you lol

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

I put it in a website and it gave the answer of 25.16

OpenStudy (decarr432):

lol? what kind of computer you use?

OpenStudy (decarr432):

if its windows go to your start menu and open calculator then simply do how I just showed you

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Okay. I did it and as soon as I typed 16% it turned it into a 4 so the answer is 4. Thank you. Are you ready for the next question?

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Yes ma'am

OpenStudy (decarr432):

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

OpenStudy (decarr432):

@KoalaGurl1 Can you help?

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Scroll up and look at the download of question 4 7th grade.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

mk

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

What do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

um... the last one D.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Why do you think it is that one?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

This is just a guess. I just randomly chose that one.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Ok, well that's incorrect. Any others?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Umm... A?

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Can you explain why you think that?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Again, this is just a guess.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

I want you to get the correct answer, but I also want you to understand it.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Do you know how to convert a percent to a fraction?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Yes.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Ok, what is 6% as a fraction?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

\[\frac{ 3 }{50 }\]

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

It can be that too, but without reducing it, what would it be?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

\[\frac{ 6 }{ 100}\]

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Yes, and there is only one answer with that fraction. So, use your power of deduction and figure out which one you think it is.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

:)

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

It's A. Do you have time to help me with one more?

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Sure :)

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Okay.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

and Good job!

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Thank you. I couldn't have done it without your help.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Np, glad I could help ^_^

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

What do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

I don't know. I don't even have a guess for this one. I really need your help on this one.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Ok, well $65,000 is between $36,250 and $87,850 right?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Yes.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

So what does that mean?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

It is 25% on taxable income.

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Yep, and what is 25% of 65,000?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

16,250?

OpenStudy (koalagurl1):

Yes! So the answer is?

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

C. Thank you for all of your help.
