Let's go through each question on the worksheet step-by-step:

### Question 6:
**Out of 500 animals at a zoo, 6% are monkeys. How many monkeys are there?**

- The correct calculation is:  
  \[
  6\% \text{ of } 500 = \frac{6}{100} \times 500 = 30
  \]
- Therefore, the correct answer is **C. 30 monkeys**.

### Question 7:
**What is the correct percent for a quiz score of 14 points out of 20?**

- To calculate this, use:
  \[
  \frac{14}{20} \times 100 = 70\%
  \]
- The correct answer is **C. 70\%**.

### Question 8:
**What is the correct percent for a quiz score of 26 points out of 60?**

- To calculate:
  \[
  \frac{26}{60} \times 100 \approx 43.33\%
  \]
- The closest answer is **A. about 43%**.

### Question 9:
**A paper carrier delivers 200 newspapers every Sunday. If 75% were delivered before noon, how many newspapers still need to be delivered?**

- If 75% were delivered, 25% remain undelivered.  
  \[
  25\% \text{ of } 200 = \frac{25}{100} \times 200 = 50 \text{ newspapers}
  \]
- Therefore, the correct answer is **B. 25 papers**.

### Question 10:
**Which of the following ratios is *not* equivalent to 80%?**

- \( \text{80%} = \frac{80}{100} = \frac{4}{5} \)
- Check the options:
  - **A. 4 to 5** is equivalent to 80% because \(\frac{4}{5} = 0.80\).
  - **B. 20 to 25** is equivalent because \(\frac{20}{25} = 0.80\).
  - **C. 80 to 10** is not equivalent because \(\frac{80}{10} = 8.00\).
  - **D. 0.8** is equivalent to 80%.
  
- Therefore, the correct answer is **C. 80:10**.
