60% Answer Correctly

associative

PEDMAS

commutative

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.

Monty loaned Roger $600 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$63
$5
$54
$30

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 = 0.05 x $600
i = $30

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 30 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
162 m2
128 m2
50 m2
32 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 30 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 30.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 30
w + h = \( \frac{30}{2} \)
w + h = 15
w = 15 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 15 - 2w
3w = 15
w = \( \frac{15}{3} \)
w = 5

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 5) = 10 and the area = h x w = 5 x 10 = 50 m2

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $16, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$8.00
$0.80
$7.20
$4.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $16 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$16 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$80}{100} \) = $0.80 on the second shirt.
