Sense or Non-Sense

1. Mr. Bragg says he is right 100% of the time?
2. The Todd family ate out last Saturday. The bill was $36. Would a 50% tip be too much to leave? Why?
3. Joe loaned Jeff a dollar. he said the interest would be 75% a day. Is this a pretty good deal for Joe? Why?
4. Cindy sepends 100% of her allowance on candy. Do you think this is sensible? Why?
5. The Never Miss basketball team memebers made 10% of the baskets they tried. Do you think they should change their name?
6. Sarah missed 10 problems on the science test. Do you thin her percent is enough tfor her to earn an A? Why?
7. Rosa has a paper route. She gets to keep 25% of whatever she collects. Do you thnink this is a good deal? Why?
8. The weather reporter said, "There's a one hundred percent chance of rain tomorrow." Is this a reasonable prediction?
9. Mrs. Green was complaining, "Prices have gone up at least two hundred percent this past year." Do you think she is exaggerating?
10. A store advertised, "Best sale ever, 10% discount on all items." Is this a good sale?
