    Answer to the 3rd question is "B"

    The number of magazines printed in February was approx. 30,000. At $1.50 each, the total cost to print was $45,000.

    The printed version gave advertising revenues of approx. $17,000 for the same month.

    The question now requires you to calculate 17,000 as a fraction of 45,000. If you use your calculator to divide 17 by 45 you will get 0.3777. This value is close to 0.4 which is equivalent to 4/10 or 2/5.

    Another approach is to use the answer choices. If we take 1/5 of 45,000 we get 9,000 which is too small, as we are trying to get 17,000. Two fifths would be twice as much i.e. 18,000 which is a bit larger than we need. But three fifths would be much too large. Hence 2/5 is the closest.

    And the answer to the 5th question is "B".

    You have got all other answers correctly. 👍
