What is 5a7 x 4a5?

75% Answer Correctly
20a2
9a12
20a5
20a12

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

5a7 x 4a5
(5 x 4)a(7 + 5)
20a12

Roger loaned Betty $800 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$840
$824
$872
$832

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 = 0.04 x $800

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

total = $800 + $32
total = $832

What is 6\( \sqrt{4} \) x 3\( \sqrt{6} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
18\( \sqrt{10} \)
9\( \sqrt{4} \)
36\( \sqrt{6} \)
18\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

6\( \sqrt{4} \) x 3\( \sqrt{6} \)
(6 x 3)\( \sqrt{4 \times 6} \)
18\( \sqrt{24} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

18\( \sqrt{24} \)
18\( \sqrt{6 \times 4} \)
18\( \sqrt{6 \times 2^2} \)
(18)(2)\( \sqrt{6} \)
36\( \sqrt{6} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $40, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$74.00
$56.00
$54.00
$34.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $40 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$40 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$600}{100} \) = $6.00 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$40.00 + ($40.00 - $6.00)
$40.00 + $34.00
$74.00
