Problem: Article: To accurately follow the direction of travel arrow, look down at the arrow, then focus on a distant object like a tree, telephone pole, or other landmark, and use this as a guide. Don't focus on anything too distant, like a mountain, as huge objects aren't precise enough to navigate by accurately. Once you reach each guide point, use your compass to find another. If visibility is limited and you cannot see any distant objects, use another member of your walking party (if applicable). Stand still, then ask them to walk away from you in the direction indicated by the direction of travel arrow. Call out to them to correct their direction as they walk. When they approach the edge of visibility, ask them to wait until you catch up. Repeat as necessary.
Summary: Focus on points in the distance.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: "If a shirt that costs $40 is reduced to $32, what percentage of a discount is this?" " The amount that exists after the percentage has been applied can also be called the "new amount". For our question, we do not know the percent. We know that $40 is the original, and that's $32 is the "after." Make sure the "after amount" goes into the calculator first. For our example, type 32, hit divide, type 40, hit equals. This division gives us: 0.8. (It's not the final answer.) For our sample problem, 0.8 changes to 80%. If your answer is smaller than 100%, you have a decrease or discount; larger than 100% is an increase. Because the price in the example dropped, and the price that we calculated is also a discount, we're on the right path. If the price in the example dropped from $40 to $32, however, and we got 120% after our calculation, we'd know that something is wrong because we're looking for a discount and we got an increase. Figure out how much above or below 100% you are and this will be your final answer. In our sample problem, 80% compared to 100% means that we had a discount of 20%. To get the hang of things, read the prompt and see if you understand how to finish the following problems: Problem #1: "A $50 blouse is now $28. What was the percentage of discount?" To solve it, grab a calculator. Enter '28,' hit divide, enter '50,' hit equals; the answer is 0.56. Convert '0.56' to '56%'. Compare this number to 100%, subtracting '56' from '100', leaving us with a discount of 44%. Problem #2: "A $12 baseball cap is $15 after tax. What was the sales tax percentage?" To solve it, grab a calculator. Enter '15', hit divide, enter '12', hit equals; the answer is 1.25. Convert '1.25' to '125%'. Compare this to 100%, subtracting '100' from '125', leaving us with an increase of 25%.

SUMMARY: Use the perfect percentage method for the following sorts of problems: Decide which number represents the original amount and which represents the "after amount. Divide the "after amount" by the original amount. Move the decimal point two places to the right to change it from a decimal to a percent. Compare that percentage to 100%. Compare your percentage to 100%. Practice on the following examples.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most pieces of furniture will have a cleaning code on the tags under or inside the article. Looking for this code can provide you the recommended and safest way to clean velvet furniture items. In general, velvet is coded as "S," which means that it requires cleaning with solvents or dry cleaning and will not react well with water. Call the manufacturer if you cannot locate the cleaning code. Most companies will have a database of furniture items and can provide you important information about the cleaning code and caring for the piece. Ask any questions you may have in the course of your call. If you are unsure about your velvet furniture's code or the piece is an heirloom or has special meaning to you, take the safest route and hire a professional cleaner. It may cost you a bit more, but a professional cleaner has the training and know-how to most effectively and safely clean velvet items. Consider using a commercial dry cleaning kit for smaller household items such as pillow covers or duvets. Make sure to read the cleaning code and the kit information before you start any cleaning efforts. If you decide to spot clean your household velvet item, you should always vacuum it before you begin any washing efforts. Use your vacuum's brush attachment and run it along the nap, which is the raised and fuzzy surface of fabrics like velvet. This will puff up the fabric and prepare it for cleaning. One of the most effective ways to remove a stain from a velvet household item is gently applying a solution of lemon juice and baking soda. These two potent ingredients can lift and remove any stains from your item. Mix two tablespoons of baking soda in a bowl filled with lemon juice. Stir the mixture until it form a good amount of foam, which is what you will use to clean the item. If you are cleaning larger objects, use a larger bowl or tub. Before you begin cleaning any stains or spots, or wash the entire item, it's important to do a spot test. This can let you know if the mixture is too potent for your item. In this case, you should allow a professional to clean the object. Apply a small amount of the mixture to a spot on your item that is not visible. The can be under the object or at an inconspicuous seam. Make sure to test the mixture using the same gentle dabbing method you would on other spots. Just as with velvet clothing, you need to be delicate when cleaning stains on your household items. Gently dabbing or wiping away stains can ensure that your item gets clean and remains lustrous and beautiful. Skim the foam from the top of your mixture with a soft, clean cloth. Using long, straight movements, gently wipe or dab at the stains along the nap of the velvet. Make sure to not rub the solution into the fabric, which may cause stains to go deeper into the velvet or damage the item. Check the spot in between wipes to see if the stain is gone. Continue to repeat the process until the item is clean. Remove excess solution or residue by rinsing out the cloth and dabbing the spots until you can't detect anything on the velvet. Make sure to wring out the cloth before dabbing it on the velvet so that it doesn't soak the item and ruin the nap or texture. In most cases, it won't take a long time for a household item to dry from cleaning it. However, you may want to give it a few hours or full day to completely dry before letting others use it. This can ensure that the velvet stays lustrous and isn't exposed to any other potential staining agents.
Summary:
Check the cleaning code. Hire a professional. Vacuum the item. Make a lemon juice and baking soda solution. Test the mixture. Wipe away stains gently. Allow the item to dry thoroughly.
