Ezra loaned Alex $1,300 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$108
$104
$18
$66

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 $1,300
i = 0.08 x $1,300
i = $104


3

What is \( \frac{-6c^7}{1c^3} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-6c10
-6c2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-6c4
-\(\frac{1}{6}\)c10

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{-6c^7}{c^3} \)
\( \frac{-6}{1} \) c(7 - 3)
-6c4

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 10 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
7
4
2
5

Solution

To fill a 10 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 5 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{5 \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


5

In a class of 28 students, 8 are taking German and 10 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 5 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
20
19
15
23

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 8 + 10 = 18. Of that group of 18, 5 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 18 - 5 = 13 who are taking at least one language. 28 - 13 = 15 students who are not taking either language.
