Betty scored 80% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
32
27
46
33

Solution

Betty scored 80% on the test meaning she earned 80% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.8 = 96 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{96}{3} \) = 32 questions right.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $50, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$12.50
$70.00
$87.50
$37.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $50 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$50 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1250}{100} \) = $12.50 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$50.00 + ($50.00 - $12.50)
$50.00 + $37.50
$87.50


5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 31,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
31,333
24,800
41,667
28,500

Solution

A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

31,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{124000}{5} \) = 24,800 fans.
