What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
37
39
46
47

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46

3

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 4:1 and all 33,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
38,400
26,400
31,200
28,500

Solution

A ratio of 4:1 means that there are 4 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 5 fans, 4 are home fans and \( \frac{4}{5} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

33,000 fans x \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{132000}{5} \) = 26,400 fans.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $49, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$14.70
$4.90
$12.25
$9.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $49 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$49 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$490}{100} \) = $4.90 on the second shirt.

Monty loaned Latoya $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,442
$1,512
$1,526
$1,484

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 $1,400
i = 0.09 x $1,400

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

total = $1,400 + $126
total = $1,526
