1

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


2

What is (y2)2?

79% Answer Correctly
80
y0
y4
2y2

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(y2)2
y(2 * 2)
y4


3

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

Roger loaned Jennifer $100 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$107
$103
$108
$102

Solution

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 $100
i = 0.07 x $100

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $100 + $7
total = $107


5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $37, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$9.25
$18.50
$7.40
$12.95

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $37 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$37 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1850}{100} \) = $18.50 on the second shirt.
