A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $27, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$13.50
$5.40
$8.10
$2.70

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $27 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$27 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$270}{100} \) = $2.70 on the second shirt.

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
60 miles
150 miles
525 miles
585 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 25mph \times 6h \)
150 miles

Alex loaned Damon $500 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$80
$40
$8
$10

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 $500
i = 0.08 x $500
i = $40

How many 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 15 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
8
3
6
3

Solution

To fill a 15 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 7\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{7\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{2\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 3
