1. What is 25% of 200?
A. 25
B. 40
C. 50
D. 75
100%explanation: 25% of 200 = 0.25 × 200 = 50.
2. Solve: 12 × (5 + 3) = ?
A. 60
B. 64
C. 96
,D. 120
100%explanation: Parentheses first: 5 + 3 = 8; then multiply: 12 × 8 = 96.
3. Convert 0.75 to a fraction.
A. 1/2
B. 3/4
C. 1/3
D. 7/10
100%explanation: 0.75 = 75/100 = 3/4.
