Then you subtract the tens values,
Put those two together and you get your answer of 
Example Question #32 : How To Subtract
Lisa is shopping for a jacket that costs $50. At one store, the jacket is $50 but is 10 percent off. At another store, the jacket is 5 percent off. At another store, the jacket is $10 off. Which of the following has the best deal for the jacket?
The store with $10 off
The store with 10 percent off
The store with 5 percent off
The store with 10 percent off or $10 off
The store with $10 off
10 percent off means a discount of $5 and a final price of $45.
$10 off means a final price of $40.
5 percent off means a discount of $2.50 and a final price of $47.50.
Thus, $10 off is the best deal.
Example Question #1 : How To Add
Thomas rides the bus to school each morning. If the bus picks Thomas up at a quarter before eight, and it takes half an hour to get to school, what time will Thomas arrive at school?
8 o'clock
a quarter before 9
a quarter after 8
half past 8
half past 9
a quarter after 8
The phrase 'a quarter before' indicates that the time is 15 minutes before the hour.
The bus picks Thomas up at
"a quarter before 8"
which translates to 15 minutes before 8 o'clock, or
7:45 AM.
Because it takes half an hour, or
30 minutes
to get to school, Thomas will arrive at school 30 minutes after 7:45 AM.
7:45 AM + 30 minutes =
8:15 AM
'a quarter after' indicates that the time is 15 minutes after the hour, so 8:15 can be read as
a quarter after 8.
Note that there are 60 minutes in one hour.
Example Question #5 : Addition And Subtraction With Money
Approximately how much will John need to pay if a pair of shoes cost $42.64, a pair of pants costs $37.99, and a shirt costs $21.34.
$120
$110
$100
$90
$80
$100
The key word, "approximately," indicates that we must round each of these values. Let's round to the nearest tens place because each of our answer choices is rounded to the tens place.
Shoes cost $42.64.
$42.64 rounded (down) to the nearest tens place is $40.
Pants cost $37.99.
$37.99 rounded (up) to the nearest tens place is $40.
A shirt costs $21.34.
$21.34 rounded (down) to the nearest tens place is $20.
Let's add up our estimated prices.
$40 + $40 + $20 =
$100.
