A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $17, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$6.80
$22.10
$27.20
$20.40

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $17 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$17 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$680}{100} \) = $6.80 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$17.00 + ($17.00 - $6.80)
$17.00 + $10.20
$27.20

What is \( \frac{2}{8} \) x \( \frac{2}{5} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{14}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{2}{8} \) x \( \frac{2}{5} \) = \( \frac{2 x 2}{8 x 5} \) = \( \frac{4}{40} \) = \(\frac{1}{10}\)


3

April scored 96% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 320 possible points on the exam, how many questions did April answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
77
70
90
85

Solution

April scored 96% on the test meaning she earned 96% of the possible points on the test. There were 320 possible points on the test so she earned 320 x 0.96 = 308 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{308}{4} \) = 77 questions right.

Solve 5 + (3 + 2) ÷ 4 x 3 - 42

52% Answer Correctly
1
-7\(\frac{1}{4}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

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

5 + (3 + 2) ÷ 4 x 3 - 42
P: 5 + (5) ÷ 4 x 3 - 42
E: 5 + 5 ÷ 4 x 3 - 16
MD: 5 + \( \frac{5}{4} \) x 3 - 16
MD: 5 + \( \frac{15}{4} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{20}{4} \) + \( \frac{15}{4} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{35}{4} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{35 - 64}{4} \)
\( \frac{-29}{4} \)
-7\(\frac{1}{4}\)

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
62
61
52
57

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4(n - 1)

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(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61
