Damon loaned Monica $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,428
$1,526
$1,484
$1,470

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 $1,400
i = 0.02 x $1,400

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

total = $1,400 + $28
total = $1,428


2

What is -2z7 - 5z7?

71% Answer Correctly
7z7
3z14
-7z7
3z49

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:

-2z7 - 5z7
(-2 - 5)z7
-7z7


3

What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{3}{8} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{9}{64}\)
\(\frac{8}{63}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{3}{8} \) = \( \frac{3 x 3}{8 x 8} \) = \( \frac{9}{64} \) = \(\frac{9}{64}\)

If a car travels 360 miles in 9 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
40 mph
25 mph
75 mph
35 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 = \( \frac{360mi}{9h} \)
40 mph


5

What is 5y6 + y6?

66% Answer Correctly
6y36
6y12
6y6
-4y-6

Solution

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

5y6 + 1y6
(5 + 1)y6
6y6
