A machine in a factory has an error rate of 8 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 10 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 3 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
145.9
95.9
193.2
114

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{8}{100} \) x 10 = \( \frac{8 \times 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{80}{100} \) = 0.8 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 10 - 0.8 = 9.2 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 3 = 21 hours yesterday so you would expect that 21 x 9.2 = 193.2 error free parts were produced yesterday.

Betty scored 84% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 200 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
46
42
39
56

Solution

Betty scored 84% on the test meaning she earned 84% of the possible points on the test. There were 200 possible points on the test so she earned 200 x 0.84 = 168 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{168}{4} \) = 42 questions right.

If \( \left|c + 6\right| \) + 7 = -4, which of these is a possible value for c?

62% Answer Correctly
-8
5
17
11

Solution

First, solve for \( \left|c + 6\right| \):

\( \left|c + 6\right| \) + 7 = -4
\( \left|c + 6\right| \) = -4 - 7
\( \left|c + 6\right| \) = -11

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (c + 6) must equal - 11 or --11 for \( \left|c + 6\right| \) to equal -11:

c + 6 = -11
c = -11 - 6
c = -17
c + 6 = 11
c = 11 - 6
c = 5

So, c = 5 or c = -17.
