About these tests
Free everyday math practice for adults in the United States: money, sales tax, tips and discounts, pay and overtime, customary units (inches, feet, pounds, gallons), time, area, and reading tables. Useful for brushing up before an adult education class, a job test or further study.
Every answer is worked out by a script and checked again by a second, independent script. Questions are tagged to the Common Core math standards they practice.
Key facts

- In the Common Core, grade 7 students use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems – for example simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, and percent increase and decrease. Source: Common Core State Standards – 7.RP.A.3
