1

14 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 3 4-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
2
4
1
8

Solution

There are 3 4-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 4 = 12 total seats. There are 14 people needing transportation leaving 14 - 12 = 2 who will have to find other transportation.


2

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $21, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$4.20
$9.45
$5.25
$3.15

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $21 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$21 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$945}{100} \) = $9.45 on the second shirt.


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{75} \)

62% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{3} \)
8\( \sqrt{6} \)
5\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{75} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \)
5\( \sqrt{3} \)


4

Find the average of the following numbers: 10, 2, 9, 3.

74% Answer Correctly
6
4
7
8

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{10 + 2 + 9 + 3}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6


5

Simplify \( \frac{40}{44} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{2}{7} \)
\( \frac{9}{14} \)
\( \frac{10}{11} \)
\( \frac{4}{19} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 44 are [1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{40}{44} \) = \( \frac{\frac{40}{4}}{\frac{44}{4}} \) = \( \frac{10}{11} \)
