A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 30% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $44, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$66.00
$30.80
$13.20
$74.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $44 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$44 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1320}{100} \) = $13.20 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$44.00 + ($44.00 - $13.20)
$44.00 + $30.80
$74.80

What is 8\( \sqrt{2} \) x 2\( \sqrt{7} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
16\( \sqrt{2} \)
16\( \sqrt{14} \)
16\( \sqrt{7} \)
10\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

8\( \sqrt{2} \) x 2\( \sqrt{7} \)
(8 x 2)\( \sqrt{2 \times 7} \)
16\( \sqrt{14} \)


3

What is \( \frac{4}{5} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{8}{25}\)
\(\frac{1}{56}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
1\(\frac{3}{5}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{4}{5} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \) = \( \frac{4 x 2}{5 x 8} \) = \( \frac{8}{40} \) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

If there were a total of 50 raffle tickets sold and you bought 1 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
12%
2%
14%
17%

Solution

You have 1 out of the total of 50 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{1}{50} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{1 \times 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{100}{50} \) = 2% chance to win the raffle.


5

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

all of these are false

b0 = 1

b1 = 1

b1 = b


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).
