1. Joanna got 48 out of 60-item Business Math test. What percent was her score in the test?2. Carlo and Aaron decided to put up a bakeshop. If Carlo will invest ₱25,000.00 while Aaron will invest ₱15,000.00, what percent is Carlo’s investment?3. ₱250.00 is 20% of the original amount. What is the original amount?

Here are the solutions for the problems you provided:

### 1. Joanna got 48 out of 60 on her Business Math test. What percent was her score in the test?

To find the percentage score:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Score obtained}}{\text{Total score}} \right) \times 100
\]

Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{48}{60} \right) \times 100
\]

\[
\text{Percentage} = 0.8 \times 100 = 80\%
\]

**Answer:** Joanna’s score is 80%.

### 2. Carlo and Aaron decided to put up a bakeshop. If Carlo will invest ₱25,000.00 while Aaron will invest ₱15,000.00, what percent is Carlo’s investment compared to Aaron’s?

To find what percent Carlo’s investment is of Aaron’s:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Carlo’s investment}}{\text{Aaron’s investment}} \right) \times 100
\]

Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{25000}{15000} \right) \times 100
\]

\[
\text{Percentage} = 1.\overline{6} \times 100 = 166.\overline{6}\%
\]

**Answer:** Carlo’s investment is approximately 166.67% of Aaron’s investment.

### 3. ₱250.00 is 20% of the original amount. What is the original amount?

Let the original amount be \( x \). Then:
\[
20\% \text{ of } x = 250
\]

Converting to equation form:
\[
0.2x = 250
\]

Solving for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{250}{0.2} = 1250
\]

**Answer:** The original amount is ₱1,250.00.
