The question asks you to figure out what 50% more than a smaller part of 40 is. To do this, you must first solve what 15% of 40 is. First, divide the percentage by 100.

Then, multiply the result times 40.

You then must figure out what 50% more than this new number is. 50% more is equal to 150% of the original value. Just like before, divide this percentage by 100.

Then, multiply the result times 6.

This result is your answer.

The question asks you to figure out what 20% more than a smaller amount of 40 is. To do this, you must first solve for the smaller amount. So, first divide 40 by 2 since it asks for half of 40.

Since 20% than a number is equal to 120% of the original value of that number, multiply 20 by 120%. To do this, first divide the percentage by 100.

Then, multiply the result times 20.

This result is your answer.

To figure out what a percentage of a particular number is, first divide that percentage by 100.

Then, multiply the result times the original number.

This result is your answer.

If the clothing store discounts an already discounted price, it means that we are trying to find a percentage of an already smaller part of the original number. First, if the original discount was 25%, that means that the shirt was sold for 75% the original price the first week.

So, we must first figure out what the shirt was worth at 75% the original price. To do this, divide the percentage by 100.

Multiply the result times the original price of the shirt.

This is the price of the shirt after the first discount. This new price is then discounted by another 20%. So, the newest price will be 80% of the value of the first discount.

To find out what the price is after this is done, multiply the percentage by the new price. So, first divide the percentage by 100.

Multiply this result by the discounted price.

The result is your answer.

To figure out what 18% of any number is, first divide the percentage by 100.

Then, multiply this result times the original number.

The result is your answer.

To figure out what 18% of any number is, first divide the percentage by 100.

Then, multiply this result times the original number.

The result is the tip. To figure out the total amount paid, add the tip to the original price of the bill.

 of  is equal to 

 of  is equal to 

The two are equal regardless of the value or relation of  and .

, so 0.5% of a number is the same as  of the number. Therefore, in each choice, we are taking the same percent of a number. Since , 0.5%, or , of  is less than 0.5% of .

When finding the percent, we must take the part and divide it by the whole. 

In this case, 5 is the part and we must find the sum of everything to make the whole as shown in the denominator below.  

We can now reduce the fraction and convert to percent. 

If the store sells the dress for 40% off, that means it is worth 60% of its original price. 

Therefore, if you multiply 60% times the original price of the dress, you will know what the current price of the dress is.

To do this, first divide your percentage by 100.

Then, multiply the result of this times the original price of the dress. 

The new result is your answer.
