What is the least common multiple of 5 and 9?

72% Answer Correctly
31
24
15
45

Solution

The first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50] and the first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [45, 90] making 45 the smallest multiple 5 and 9 have in common.

Bob loaned Christine $1,100 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
$1,122
$1,144
$1,166
$1,188

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 $1,100
i = 0.04 x $1,100

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

total = $1,100 + $44
total = $1,144


3

Simplify \( \frac{16}{52} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{4}{9} \)
\( \frac{5}{8} \)
\( \frac{4}{13} \)
\( \frac{8}{19} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 16 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] and the factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{16}{52} \) = \( \frac{\frac{16}{4}}{\frac{52}{4}} \) = \( \frac{4}{13} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $11, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.85
$1.65
$5.50
$2.75

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $11 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$11 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$275}{100} \) = $2.75 on the second shirt.
