Ezra loaned Betty $400 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$416
$408
$428
$432

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 $400
i = 0.08 x $400

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

total = $400 + $32
total = $432


2

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 33,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
37,500
36,750
24,750
32,500

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

33,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{99000}{4} \) = 24,750 fans.


3

67% Answer Correctly

4

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


5
