Modded SAT Question Bank by Abdullah Mallik

What number is 20% greater than 60 ?

  1. 50

  2. 72

  3. 75

  4. 132


Tip: Press CTRL/Command to toggle answer
Correct Answer: B
Rationale

Choice B is correct. The decimal equivalent of 20% is 0.2. The number that is 20% greater than 60 is also 120% of 60. The decimal equivalent of 120% is 1.2, and 1 point 2 times 60, equals 72.

Alternate approach: 10% of 60 is 6, and 20% of 60 is double that amount, or 12. It follows that the number that is 20% greater than 60 is 12 more than 60, or 60 plus 12, equals 72.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from dividing, instead of multiplying, 60 by 1.2. Choice C is incorrect because it’s 25% greater than 60, rather than 20% greater than 60. Choice D is incorrect and may result from multiplying 60 by 2.2 instead of 1.2.
