This test was FAR harder than some of you thought. Number 7 was the second most missed question, tripping up 71 percent of the class. It was OBVIOUS that 2.40 was 4 times .60. . . but when you converted your answer to a percentage you forgot to think it through. The answer was 300 percent, which is 4 times as much. Likewise on number 5, was 3 times as much or 200 percent.

Then number 9 knocked many out, because the BEST answer was the PERCENTAGE difference between the first and second books. So the first answer to number 9 was the SECOND BOOK. . . but the second answer to number 9 was 122.22 percent [or thereabouts]. This is how the percentage difference the second book made over the first book. Are you with me? Rande Is
