A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $36, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$10.80
$5.40
$14.40
$9.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $36 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$36 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1440}{100} \) = $14.40 on the second shirt.

If a mayor is elected with 90% of the votes cast and 73% of a town's 28,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
18,396
16,352
17,170
11,651

Solution

If 73% of the town's 28,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{73}{100} \)) x 28,000 = \( \frac{2,044,000}{100} \) = 20,440

The mayor got 90% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{90}{100} \)) x 20,440 = \( \frac{1,839,600}{100} \) = 18,396 votes.

40

Solution

The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40]. They share 8 factors [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] making 40 the greatest factor 40 and 40 have in common.


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{4}{81}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
1\(\frac{1}{5}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{4}{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{2^2}}{\sqrt{9^2}} \)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
