If there were a total of 100 raffle tickets sold and you bought 5 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
12%
1%
11%
5%

Solution

You have 5 out of the total of 100 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{5}{100} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{5 \times 100}{100} \) = \( \frac{500}{100} \) = 5% chance to win the raffle.

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 7 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 7 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
1:4
3:6
49:2
1:6

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 7:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 7:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 49:14 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 14:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 49:14, 14:2 which reduces to 49:2.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $42, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$58.80
$25.20
$67.20
$16.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $42 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$42 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1680}{100} \) = $16.80 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$42.00 + ($42.00 - $16.80)
$42.00 + $25.20
$67.20
