Tech companies run several promotions during holiday sales. One of those promotions includes a trade-in value for a cell phone. For the older phone, a company gives you a discount equal to one-fourth of the price of the new phone. If the new phone costs $800, the total discount is applied as equal monthly bill credits over a 24-month period.
If the monthly network fee is $50, what percent of the monthly fee does the monthly credit represent?
A) 10%
B) 16.6%
C) 20%
D) 30%
E) It is cheaper
Answer: B
25% of 800 = 200
200 ÷ 24 = 8.33
8.33 ÷ 50 = 0.1666 = 16.6%
This is the type of practical percent and multi-step reasoning students should be comfortable with before test day. Strong DAT study materials build calculation confidence, not just pattern recognition.
