Explanation for Question 20 From the Math (Calc) Section on the 2019 March Sat
Question 20 asks, which of the following is closest to the percent by which 2 the price of hay baler. He exceeds the price of hay baler. 3 See, let's find the price of both. 4 Before we start the price of hay baler sees 32,000 and the price of 5 hay bell or E is 46,900. 6 So I'm going to set up an equation. 32,000 ax is 7 equal to 46,900 and 8 X is going to be some value. It's going to be one point something. 9 And those decimal values are going to tell us the percent by which 32,000, 10 uh, can be multiplied by two equal 46,900. 11 So if you divide both sides by 30 2030, 12 2000, you'll find that X is equal to 1.4656. 13 And that means that 46,900 is 46.5, 14 6% greater than 32,000. 15 And so the answer is the.
