Ezra loaned Jennifer $300 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$312
$327
$303
$309

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 $300
i = 0.01 x $300

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

total = $300 + $3
total = $303

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 30,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
32,000
32,800
29,167
22,500

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

30,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{90000}{4} \) = 22,500 fans.

What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{45} \) + \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{225} \)
8\( \sqrt{5} \)
6\( \sqrt{9} \)
14\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

4\( \sqrt{45} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(4)(3)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
12\( \sqrt{5} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

12\( \sqrt{5} \) + 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(12 + 2)\( \sqrt{5} \)
14\( \sqrt{5} \)

How many 2 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 8 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
4
9
2
6

Solution

To fill a 8 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 4 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{4 \text{ gallons}}{2 \text{ gallons}} \) = 2
