A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 20% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $40, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$8.00
$2.00
$16.00
$20.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $40 x \( \frac{20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$40 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$800}{100} \) = $8.00 on the second shirt.

A triathlon course includes a 500m swim, a 20.8km bike ride, and a 12.100000000000001km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
33.4km
44.3km
64.1km
57.6km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 500 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.5km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.5km + 20.8km + 12.100000000000001km
total distance = 33.4km


3

Convert b-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{b^2} \)
\( \frac{-2}{b} \)
\( \frac{-1}{b^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{2}{b} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


4
