Betty scored 95% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 80 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
51
38
40
48

Solution

Betty scored 95% on the test meaning she earned 95% of the possible points on the test. There were 80 possible points on the test so she earned 80 x 0.95 = 76 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{76}{2} \) = 38 questions right.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Frank buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $38, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.80
$13.30
$1.90
$7.60

Solution

By buying two shirts, Frank will save $38 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$38 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$190}{100} \) = $1.90 on the second shirt.

If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?

67% Answer Correctly

a = 7

none of these is correct

a = 7 or a = -7

a = -7


Solution

The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

68% Answer Correctly
51
46
47
39

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46
