Frank loaned Monica $800 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$872
$824
$816
$840

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $800
i = 0.05 x $800

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $800 + $40
total = $840


2

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{4}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
2\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{3}{4}\) - \(\frac{1}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{22}{8} \) - \( \frac{2}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{20}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups

5

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 60% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
35%
30%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 60% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{60\text{%}}{2} \) = 30%
