Monty loaned April $800 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$864
$840
$872
$808

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 $800
i = 0.05 x $800

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

total = $800 + $40
total = $840

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{63} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
81\( \sqrt{441} \)
81\( \sqrt{9} \)
36\( \sqrt{7} \)
18\( \sqrt{441} \)

Solution

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

9\( \sqrt{63} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
9\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
9\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 7} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
(9)(3)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
27\( \sqrt{7} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)

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

27\( \sqrt{7} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
(27 + 9)\( \sqrt{7} \)
36\( \sqrt{7} \)


3

56% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

greatest common factor

least common factor

absolute value


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.


4

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

integer

improper fraction

fraction

mixed number


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

What is -7y7 + 6y7?

66% Answer Correctly
13y-7
-y14
-y7
-13y7

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-7y7 + 6y7
(-7 + 6)y7
-y7
