A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 20% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $44, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$17.60
$6.60
$8.80
$15.40

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $44 x \( \frac{20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$44 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$880}{100} \) = $8.80 on the second shirt.

What is 8a3 + 6a3?

2a3
14a3
-2a3
14a6

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:

8a3 + 6a3
(8 + 6)a3
14a3

A triathlon course includes a 500m swim, a 50.5km bike ride, and a 15.100000000000001km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
66.1km
50.9km
38.8km
30.9km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 500 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.5km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.5km + 50.5km + 15.100000000000001km
total distance = 66.1km
