A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $10, how much will he pay for both shirts?
| $8.50 | |
| $14.50 | |
| $18.50 | |
| $1.50 |
By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $10 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$10 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$150}{100} \) = $1.50 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$10.00 + ($10.00 - $1.50)
$10.00 + $8.50
$18.50
4! = ?
3 x 2 x 1 |
|
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
4 x 3 |
A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?
| 46 | |
| 39 | |
| 47 | |
| 40 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)
where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:
a6 = a5 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?
| 160 miles | |
| 120 miles | |
| 270 miles | |
| 180 miles |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 45mph \times 6h \)
270 miles
If \( \left|x + 3\right| \) + 1 = 0, which of these is a possible value for x?
| -2 | |
| 2 | |
| 9 | |
| 10 |
First, solve for \( \left|x + 3\right| \):
\( \left|x + 3\right| \) + 1 = 0
\( \left|x + 3\right| \) = 0 - 1
\( \left|x + 3\right| \) = -1
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (x + 3) must equal - 1 or --1 for \( \left|x + 3\right| \) to equal -1:
| x + 3 = -1 x = -1 - 3 x = -4 | x + 3 = 1 x = 1 - 3 x = -2 |
So, x = -2 or x = -4.
