Yes. When 54 is divided by 9, the result is 6 with no remainder. Also, 54 can be written as the product of 9 and 6.

The last digit is 0, so 45,730 is divisible by 5, since the rule states that if the last digit is 0 or 5, the original number is divisible by 5.

The sum of the digits is 32. Since 32 is not divisible by 9, neither is 342,887.

The last digit is even, so 2 divides 43,568. The sum of the digits is 26. Since 26 is not divisible by 3, neither is 43,568. The rule for divisibility by 6 is that the number be divisible by both 2 and 3. Since 43,568 is not divisible by 3, it is not divisible by 6.

Since the last digit of 87,762 is not 0, it is not divisible by 10.

The number formed by the last two digits of 43,568 is 68 and 68 is divisible by 4. Since the number formed by the last two digits of 43,568 is divisible by 4, so is 43,568.

Yes, 1,429 is prime.

Yes, 859 is a prime number.

5,067,322 is a composite number.

No, 1,477 is composite.

−7. Since |−18| > |11|, the answer matches the sign of −18.

−62. Since a larger positive number was subtracted from a smaller positive number, a negative result was expected.

71. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.

−17. Since |19| < |−36|, the sign of the answer matches the sign of −36, which is negative.

2,106. Since both numbers are positive, the product is positive.

We want the original price of the item, which is the total. We know the percent, 40, and the percentage of the total, $30. To find the original cost, use $\frac{100\times <!--\; \times \; -->x}{n}$, with $x=30$ and $n\text{ = }\text{40}$. Calculating with those values yields $\frac{100\times <!--\; \times \; -->30}{40}=75$. So, the original was $75.
