3
7
8

Roger loaned Jennifer $400 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$412
$424
$408
$420

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 $400
i = 0.05 x $400

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

total = $400 + $20
total = $420

How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 10 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

51% Answer Correctly
5
4
10
8

Solution

To fill a 10 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 5 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

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

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $12, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$23.40
$11.40
$0.60
$17.40

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $12 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$12 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$60}{100} \) = $0.60 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$12.00 + ($12.00 - $0.60)
$12.00 + $11.40
$23.40

April scored 93% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 160 possible points on the exam, how many questions did April answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
74
69
64
67

Solution

April scored 93% on the test meaning she earned 93% of the possible points on the test. There were 160 possible points on the test so she earned 160 x 0.93 = 148 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{148}{2} \) = 74 questions right.
