Answers to Sheet #197
1) .06 x $241.00 = $14.46
$241.00 + $14.46 = $255.46
2) $461.00 - ($461.00x) = $387.24
$461.00x = $73.76
x = .16 = 16%
3) .0875 x $245.00 = $21.44
$245.00 + $21.44 = $266.44
4) .0625 x $479.00 = $29.94
$479.00 + $29.94 = $508.94
5) $24.00 - ($24.00x) = $17.76
$24.00x = $6.24
.26 = 26%
