Alex loaned April $800 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
| $832 | |
| $824 | |
| $840 | |
| $872 |
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $800
i = 0.04 x $800
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $800 + $32Solve for \( \frac{2!}{6!} \)

| \( \frac{1}{72} \) | |
| 120 | |
| \( \frac{1}{360} \) |
A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:
\( \frac{2!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{360} \)
Which of the following is not an integer?
\({1 \over 2}\) |

1 |
An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.
Which of the following is a mixed number?
\({a \over 5} \) |
|
\(1 {2 \over 5} \) |
|
\({5 \over 7} \) |
|
\({7 \over 5} \) |
A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
Simplify \( \frac{20}{72} \).
| \( \frac{10}{11} \) | |
| \( \frac{3}{5} \) | |
| \( \frac{5}{18} \) | |
| \( \frac{4}{11} \) |
To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 20 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20] and the factors of 72 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{20}{72} \) = \( \frac{\frac{20}{4}}{\frac{72}{4}} \) = \( \frac{5}{18} \)
