A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $23, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$4.60
$6.90
$11.50
$2.30

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $23 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$23 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$230}{100} \) = $2.30 on the second shirt.

How many 9-passenger vans will it take to drive all 71 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
8 vans
15 vans
7 vans
4 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{71}{9} \) = 7\(\frac{8}{9}\)

So, it will take 7 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 8 vans.

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 8 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 7 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 9 hours for maintenance.

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

49% Answer Correctly
163.8
95.6
147.4
96.6

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 7 = \( \frac{8 \times 7}{100} \) = \( \frac{56}{100} \) = 0.56 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 7 - 0.56 = 6.4399999999999995 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 9 = 15 hours yesterday so you would expect that 15 x 6.4399999999999995 = 96.6 error free parts were produced yesterday.
