2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 35% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
35%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $26, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$5.20
$6.50
$7.80
$1.30

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $26 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$26 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$130}{100} \) = $1.30 on the second shirt.


4

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
2 cups
2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{3}{8}\) - \(\frac{1}{2}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{27}{8} \) - \( \frac{4}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{23}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 495 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
7 hours
9 hours
8 hours
6 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{495mi}{55mph} \)
9 hours
