56% Answer Correctly
6
2
8
9

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 20 pounds of food in 4 days that's \( \frac{20}{4} \) = 5 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 50 - 20 = 30 more pounds of food to reach 50 pounds total. At 5 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{30}{5} \) = 6 more days.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $11, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$20.35
$9.35
$12.65
$1.65

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $11 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$11 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$165}{100} \) = $1.65 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$11.00 + ($11.00 - $1.65)
$11.00 + $9.35
$20.35
