2

Simplify \( \sqrt{27} \)

62% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{6} \)
4\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{6} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{27} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \)
3\( \sqrt{3} \)


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $43, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$47.30
$45.15
$75.25
$32.25

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $43 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$43 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1075}{100} \) = $10.75 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$43.00 + ($43.00 - $10.75)
$43.00 + $32.25
$75.25


4

Alex loaned Latoya $600 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$648
$654
$624
$636

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 = 0.06 x $600

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

total = $600 + $36
total = $636


5

What is -5a2 - 2a2?

71% Answer Correctly
-7a2
7a-2
-3a2
-3a4

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-5a2 - 2a2
(-5 - 2)a2
-7a2
