1

The total water usage for a city is 15,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 19% is for personal use and 44% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
10,500
8,000
3,300
3,750

Solution

44% of the water consumption is industrial use and 19% is personal use so (44% - 19%) = 25% more water is used for industrial purposes. 15,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{25}{100} \) x 15,000 gallons = 3,750 gallons.

Solve 5 + (5 + 4) ÷ 2 x 2 - 22

53% Answer Correctly
10
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
1
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (5 + 4) ÷ 2 x 2 - 22
P: 5 + (9) ÷ 2 x 2 - 22
E: 5 + 9 ÷ 2 x 2 - 4
MD: 5 + \( \frac{9}{2} \) x 2 - 4
MD: 5 + \( \frac{18}{2} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{10}{2} \) + \( \frac{18}{2} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{28}{2} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{28 - 8}{2} \)
\( \frac{20}{2} \)
10
