For questions 16–36, you will be answering by filling in the blanks. Please be aware that your answer must include any commas or decimals in their proper places in order to be correct. The dollar signs have been provided. For example, if the answer is $1,860.78, then you will enter into the blank 1,860.78. Do not place any extra spaces between numbers, commas, or decimal places. Round any decimals to the nearest penny when the answer involves money, so that $986.526 would be typed into the blank as 986.53 and $5,698.903 would be typed into the blank as 5,698.90. If the answer is 10 dollars, then you will enter 10.00 into the blank.
