7. Gigi spent 12% of her birthday money on a new pair of sunglasses. What fraction of her
birthday money did she spend on the new sunglasses?
8. Veronica and her friends went out for pizza to celebrate the volleyball team’s victory.
Their total bill for the pizza and soft drinks was $27.50. They left a 20% tip for their
server. How much tip did they leave?

Answer 1

1. 43.75%

2. 60%

3. 11/20

4. 2 and 12/25

5. 0.031%

6. 600.5%

7. 3/25

8. $5.50

Explanation:

1. 7 ÷ 16 = 0.4375

0.4375 x 100 = 43.75%

2. 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6

0.6 x 100 = 60%

3. 55/100

11x25 / 20x5 = 11/20

4.248/100

62x4 / 25x4

62/25

62/25 = 2R12

2 12/25

5. 0.00031 x 100 = 0.031%

6. 6.005 x 100 = 600.5%

7. 12% = 12/100.

12/100 simplified = 3/25

8. $27.50 x 20% = $5.50

Answer 2

1. 7/16 = 43.75%

2. 4/5 = 80%

3. 55% = 55/100 = 11/20

4. 248% = 2 48/100 = 2 12/25

5. 0.00031 = 0.031%

6. 6.005 = 600.5%

7. 12% = 12/100 = 3/25 (Gigi spent 3/25 of her birthday money on the new sunglasses)

8. The total bill for pizza and soft drinks was $27.50. With a 20% tip, the amount of tip left would be:

Tip = 20% of total bill

Tip = 20/100 * $27.50

Tip = $5.50

Therefore, Veronica and her friends left a $5.50 tip for their server.
