A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $18, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$4.50
$8.10
$0.90
$7.20

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $18 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$18 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$90}{100} \) = $0.90 on the second shirt.


2

Convert x-3 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-3}{-x} \)
\( \frac{1}{x^3} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-3x} \)
\( \frac{3}{x} \)

Solution

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


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
21
20
29
16

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 4
a6 = 17 + 4
a6 = 21

Solve 2 + (2 + 3) ÷ 3 x 2 - 42

53% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{5}\)
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-10\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

2 + (2 + 3) ÷ 3 x 2 - 42
P: 2 + (5) ÷ 3 x 2 - 42
E: 2 + 5 ÷ 3 x 2 - 16
MD: 2 + \( \frac{5}{3} \) x 2 - 16
MD: 2 + \( \frac{10}{3} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{6}{3} \) + \( \frac{10}{3} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{16}{3} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{16 - 48}{3} \)
\( \frac{-32}{3} \)
-10\(\frac{2}{3}\)


5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $34, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$37.40
$64.60
$30.60
$45.90

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $34 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$34 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$340}{100} \) = $3.40 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$34.00 + ($34.00 - $3.40)
$34.00 + $30.60
$64.60
