Praxis 5511 Practice Question
62% of 1,500 license renewers were 36 or older. How many were younger?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine how many license renewers were younger than 36, first calculate the number of renewers aged 36 or older. 62% of 1,500 is 930 (0.62 x 1,500). Subtracting this from the total gives 570 renewers younger than 36 (1,500 - 930 = 570).
Option A (570) is accurate, reflecting the correct calculation.
Option B (620) incorrectly adds to the total instead of subtracting.
Option C (790) miscalculates by assuming a different percentage of renewers.
Option D (950) mistakenly suggests that more renewers are younger than 36 than those aged 36 or older, which is not possible.
