Arithmetic Reasoning
Percentages
40 is what percent of 160?
This is a percentage question. As an ASVAB tutor, I place a strong emphasis on the importance of reviewing percentages. In my Arithmetic Reasoning review, I cover 15 subtopics. One of those subtopics is percentages. Knowing how to work with percentages is a very important skill to master for the Arithmetic Reasoning section of the ASVAB. A number of questions involve percentages including sales tax, tip, commission, is/of =%/100 questions, percent increase and decrease questions. Today’s question can be solved as a proportion. Do you know to solve this problem? I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
