Question 8

Solve the problem.
-The parking lot at a medical center has 50 cars in it. 30% of the cars are two-toned. How many cars are two-toned?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

Solve for the base. Round to the nearest cent.
-Part: $743.00 Rate of increase: 12%

Accepted Answer

The base is the original amount before the increase. To find the base when you know the part (the increased amount) and the rate of increase, you can use the formula: base = part / (1 + rate). Here, the part is $743.00, and the rate of increase is 12% or 0.12. So, base = $743.00 / (1 + 0.12) = $743.00 / 1.12 = $663.39.
