Arithmetic Reasoning Question

Percentages are a critical topic to review for the Arithmetic Reasoning section of the ASVAB.  In working as an ASVAB tutor, I cover a number of topics that involve percentages.

Examples include sales tax, tip, commission, interest rate, percent increase and decrease, population change, and multiple percent discounts.  Many of the students I teach could use a review in percentages.

Today I present an Arithmetic Reasoning question on percentage.

The question is:

What percent of 80 is 60?

  1. 34%
  2. 68%
  3. 75%
  4. 33%

Do you know how to solve this percentage problem?

I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
