These are NOT twisted questions. If you want someone to do yout homework for you better find someone in the neighborhood and pay them for the service. These questions are the same questions you will be confronted with in life. If you cannot figure them out now, you are sunk.

These questions are merely math problems (addition, subtractions, multiplication, etc) dressed up as situational experiences. Your job (what you need to learn) is how to take a situational problem and extract the math components from the situation and rearrange it and solve it mathmatically.

In life, NOONE is going to separate the math from the problem for you. If you can%26#039;t get a feel for the situation in your life you will never be able to function properly

Commission of H. Lloyd:

= 0.08($25,000) + 0.1($40,000 - $25,000) + 0.12($42,000 - $40,000)

= $2,000 + 0.1($15,000) + 0.12($2,000)

= $2,000 + $1,500 + $240

= $3,740

Price of toothpaste:

Let x = selling price of 6.4-ounce tube of toothpaste

0.28x = x - $1.65

0.72x = $1.65

x = $1.65/0.72

x = $2.29 1/6

Answer: the selling price of toothpaste is $2.29 1/6 (exact)

Proof:

$2.29 1/6 - $1.65 = 0.28 * $2.29 1/6

$0.64 1/6 = $0.64 1/6

C. Pratt%26#039;s case is unclear to me. I won%26#039;t give an answer for fear that I would be giving you a wrong one.

Same is the case with with Ben. I don%26#039;t know how many hours one regularly works and the overtime premium when one works more than the required number per day.

Toll%26#039;s Variety Store:

= ($14.75 - $9.90) / $9.90

= $4.85/$9.90

= 48.99% (approximation)
