<p>this one was set up to trap you. a common trick answer was r = 10p</p>
<p>You have to make sure you’re using the right numbers. A value of p = 20 would give you 20%, but you’re ACTUALLY multiplying by 0.2, thus the value is 100 times less.</p>
<p>so divide by 100 on both sides of that above answer and you get r/100 = p/10, or 10r = p</p>
<p>wanderyonder: you’re such a hard a** i wish i could be like you.</p>
<p>
p does not equal 2. It equals 200.
It said p percent. So 200%, or 2.0 multiplied by 50 equals 100.</p>
<p>was 10r=p answer choice E?</p>
<p>@slalgen lol, i can’t tell if that’s a compliment or not…</p>
<p>the trick to do well on the SATs isn’t to be good at learning. it’s to know what the hell these stupid test makers are trying to trick you with.</p>
<p>^yes, i think so.</p>
<p>@ hotinpursuit - that’s exactl what i’m saying</p>
<p>i got 10r=p, too.</p>
<p>p is 200 PERCENT, when multiplying, you put it in decimal form, 2</p>
<p>10r = p was d</p>
<p>@ silence
so r = 20, p = 200
so 10r = p</p>
<p>What’s well-rounded slaglen? O:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Umm, no you don’t. 200 percent = 2. Working backwards, you’d have us believe “p” equals 2. Thus, it would be 2 percent, which is clearly incorrect.</p>
<p>being socially and educationally inclined. it seems way to hard for people to only be one :)</p>
<p>For the squares question…im pretty sure that the anwser is 800. i had done a similar problem in my math class. u can simply move the smallest square to the corner of the largest square, and then u can see that the small one is 1/4 of the large one.</p>
<p>Nice false dichotomy you’ve got there, slaglen.</p>
<p>^^
The answer is 800…</p>
<p>Slaglen just keep it to yourself and everyone just stop feeding the fire. no need to go off topic.</p>
<p>Kameron, I liked your use of dichotomy ;).</p>
<p>I thought it was 3 million in profit (7 million minus 4 million) :S</p>
<p>
Thank you. 
If only I’d remembered chagrin on the SAT…</p>
