A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $38, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$19.00
$7.60
$13.30
$9.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $38 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$38 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1900}{100} \) = $19.00 on the second shirt.


2

If a car travels 20 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
30 mph
20 mph
35 mph
40 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{20mi}{1h} \)
20 mph


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $20, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$35.00
$22.00
$21.00
$15.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $20 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$20 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$500}{100} \) = $5.00 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$20.00 + ($20.00 - $5.00)
$20.00 + $15.00
$35.00

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


5

Charlie loaned Charlie $600 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$49
$42
$6
$16

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 $600
i = 0.01 x $600
i = $6
