How do i recognize arithmetic reasoning such as asvab ? like what step do i do first and when?

Answer 1

Arithmetic reasoning is another way of saying word problems. This is the mathematical sections in the ASVAB that gives you a scenerio and askes you to solve for specific information.

Example: A jacket is on sale for 20% off of the original price. If the sale price is $30, how much is the original price?

To solve this problem you will need to know how to set up an algebraic equation and how to solve it.

The Solution:

Original Price * (100% - 20%) = Sale Price

Original Price * (80%) = $30

Original Price = $30/0.8

Original Price = $37.50

The first step is to identify what the question is asking for.
