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?
| 145.9 | |
| 95.9 | |
| 193.2 | |
| 114 |
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?
| 46 | |
| 42 | |
| 39 | |
| 56 |
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?
| -8 | |
| 5 | |
| 17 | |
| 11 |
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.
