When you are proficient at something, you are capable of doing the task or sufficiently able to perform it. Are you proficient at quiz-taking?

The calculation of the equation $76-$37 starts with the ones column. Since you can't subtract 7 from 6, you'll need to borrow from the tens column and subtract 7 from 16, to get the number nine in the ones column. Then the tens column involves the straightforward subtraction of 6-3=3. Hence, the answer is $39.

Here's another straightforward equation. Subtract 31 from 80 and you'll get the number of people that are left to sit at the other table. So, 80-31=49.

Since we are told that x=3, anywhere we see an x we will replace it with the number 3. Remember your order of operations and calculate anything within the parenthesis first, then do multiplication before subtraction. So, 5(2x-1)=y becomes 5(2*3-1)=y. Then 5(6-1)=y, or 5*5=y, so y=25.

In order to solve this problem, you can figure out just the cost of one coat, since they are the same. 10% of $88.00 is $8.80 The price of the coat after the discount is $88.00–$8.80, which is $79.20.

You need to understand your negatives in order to answer this correctly. Think of a line with points, where -50 and 50 are on the ends. Find -41, then move 13 points to the right as you add 13. The answer brings you to -28 on the line.

Remember your order of operations and do the equations in the parentheses first. So (24÷3)=8 and (8÷2)=4. Next, multiply 8x4 to get 32.

Did you fall into the trap of guessing 12? His sister was 1/3 his age when he was 21, meaning she was 7. Therefore, they are 14 years apart in age. When he is 36, subtract 14 to find out her age. She is 22!

To calculate a 15% tip, it's usually easier to figure out a 10% tip ($3.30) and add half or 5% of it ($1.65). So a 15% tip is $3.30+$1.65=$4.95. Add that to the cost of the food, which is $33.00, to get $37.95.

Sledding, ice skating and skiing are outdoor winter sports. Tennis would need to be played indoors in the winter. (Also give yourself points if you noticed that tennis is the only option that doesn't contain "ing.")

The proper sentence is: "A triangle has three sides." Of course, this is a true statement.

This question is easier to solve if you convert the feet into seconds. Since the biker travels 5 feet in half a second, he travels 10 feet per second. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, multiply 10 feet by 60 to get 600 feet per minute.

To get this answer, you need to do a process of elimination. Since the first answer has nine brownies (or $9.00) you already know that answer is over $8.25. Eight oranges alone will not be enough to reach $8.25, so eliminate the second answer. The next answer is correct, because six brownies are $6.00 and three oranges are $2.25, which together equal $8.25.

Each number in the series is four greater than the one that came before. 19+4=23.

"Luscious" means very pleasing to the sense of taste, whereas if you eat something rotten you may say the food was distasteful. Lasagna and ice cream are luscious, right?

We know that new cars (n) plus old cars (4n) equal 120. Or, n+4n=120. Or, 5n=120. Divide each side by 5 to get n=24 ... which is the number of new cars.

This is just a general knowledge question. Knowing when the Declaration of Independence was signed is important. You should also be able to name the current president and all of the states in the U.S.

It's called the identity property of multiplication and division. The product of 1 and any number is that number.

This is easier to subtract if you pay off a penny from $50.01 to the bill of $19.56 (now $19.55). So, the equation becomes $50.00-$19.55=$30.45.

When you add two negative numbers together, you get a greater negative. So -57+(-74)=-131.

The largest common factor of both numbers is 7; each number is evenly divisible by 7. Divide the top and bottom numbers in the fraction 21/49 by 7 to get 3/7.

Something "refutable" can be proven false or inaccurate, whereas something "irrefutable" can't be proven false. Therefore, these words have opposite meanings; they are antonyms.
