Ok thank you. How do I do 3 & 4?
You try to figure out 3 and 4. After you post your answers, I'll be glad to check them.
3. I did 1,250 x .30 and got 375. Then I did 1,250 - 375 and got 875. So A is the answer.

4. I did 355 x .3 and got 106.50 and then I did 355 - 106.50 and got 248.50 so B is the answer.

Correct?
3. A is right.

4. B is wrong. Do the arithmetic again.
355 - .3% = 354. So C.
Yes. 354.35
Thank you!
