Monty loaned April $1,300 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,313
$1,378
$1,404
$1,339

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 = 0.03 x $1,300

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

total = $1,300 + $39
total = $1,339

In a class of 23 students, 12 are taking German and 7 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 6 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
12
10
18
15

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 12 + 7 = 19. Of that group of 19, 6 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 19 - 6 = 13 who are taking at least one language. 23 - 13 = 10 students who are not taking either language.


3

If there were a total of 150 raffle tickets sold and you bought 4 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
6%
16%
3%
12%

Solution

You have 4 out of the total of 150 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{4}{150} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{4 \times 100}{150} \) = \( \frac{400}{150} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
36
43
42
40

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 7

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36
