i got 10/15. it's amazing how you'll come up with an answer that has absolutely nothing to do with what the question really asked you to do (and they have the nerve to list that as one of the answers). 
oh, and i really should work on my %change formulas...

I started working on a few of these and realized...it's been a long time since I've taken algebra. I could get a few of them, but there's a lot there I had forgotten.

I picked random answers and got 1 out of 15.

When a teacher can explain when I will use formulae like these in every day life, then I'll try the test.
Until then, my dog came down from canine heaven, ate the homework, and went back.

I missed two doing this by hand (a financial 10-key does not have the functions I am used to using on my TI-82) so I guess thats still passing.
Call me a dork, I like math. It makes sense to me.
