A \$50 backpack is discounted by 30%. Which fraction represents this discount rate?

$\frac{3}{100}$

$\frac{3}{10}$

CORRECT

$\frac{30}{3}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

Percent to fraction: $30% = \frac{30}{100} = \frac{3}{10}$. $\frac{3}{100}$ is 3%, and $\frac{1}{3}$ is about 33.3%.

You leave an 18% tip on a \$32 restaurant bill. How much is the tip in dollars?

1/5

1/4

CORRECT

12/30

1/3

Convert 18% to a decimal: \$0.18$. Tip: $32 \times 0.18 = 5.76$. \$6.40$ is a 20% tip, and \$0.18$ confuses percent with dollars.
