Sample questions with answers
1. A town had 170 trees. It now has 221. By what percent did the number of trees increase?
A. 30% B. 51% C. 23.1% D. 60%
Show answer
A. 30%. Increase: 221 − 170 = 51. Divide by the original: 51 ÷ 170 = 0.3, which is 30%.
2. 9 pounds of apples cost $13.50. At the same price, how much do 8 pounds cost?
A. $12.00 B. $108.00 C. $12.50 D. $1.50
Show answer
A. $12.00. Find the price of 1 pound: $13.50 ÷ 9 = $1.50. Then 8 × $1.50 = $12.00.
3. What is the mean of these numbers: 9, 17, 37, 32, 39, 16?
A. 25 B. 32 C. 30 D. 24.5
Show answer
A. 25. Add them (150) and divide by how many there are (6): 150 ÷ 6 = 25.
Tips
- About half of GED math is everyday number work (percents, rates, data). The other half is algebra.
- Learn what is on the formula sheet and what is not, so you know what to memorize.
- Practise reading word problems slowly: most mistakes come from answering a different question.
