If a mayor is elected with 72% of the votes cast and 63% of a town's 19,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

50% Answer Correctly
8,618
8,379
8,020
10,773

Solution

If 63% of the town's 19,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{63}{100} \)) x 19,000 = \( \frac{1,197,000}{100} \) = 11,970

The mayor got 72% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{72}{100} \)) x 11,970 = \( \frac{861,840}{100} \) = 8,618 votes.


3

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
35%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%

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 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $37, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$18.50
$14.80
$5.55
82

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $37 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$37 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1850}{100} \) = $18.50 on the second shirt.
