Wonderlic quantitative questions emphasize accurate order of operations under time limits. Start with the discount: 25% of $800 is $800 × 0.25 = $200. Subtract the discount to find the sale price: $800 − $200 = $600. Now apply sales tax to the discounted price, not the original: 8% of $600 is $600 × 0.08 = $48. Add the tax to the discounted price: $600 + $48 = $648. Choice B is correct. Common traps include computing tax on the original price or subtracting tax as if it were an additional discount. A quick mental-math check helps: after a 25% cut, you’re at three-quarters of $800 (that’s $600). Adding 10% tax would be $60; since the tax is only 8%, it must be a bit less than $60—$48—placing the final cost slightly under $660. That narrows the plausible answers rapidly. For speed, remember percentage shortcuts: 25% is “divide by four,” and 8% of 600 can be found by 10% (60) minus 2% (12) = 48. These tactics align with Wonderlic’s focus on efficient computation.
