If a car travels 90 miles in 6 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
15 mph
35 mph
65 mph
45 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{90mi}{6h} \)
15 mph

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $12, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$13.80
$5.40
$12.60
$18.60

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $12 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$12 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$540}{100} \) = $5.40 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$12.00 + ($12.00 - $5.40)
$12.00 + $6.60
$18.60

If a mayor is elected with 61% of the votes cast and 60% of a town's 15,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
5,490
5,220
7,380
6,210

Solution

If 60% of the town's 15,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{60}{100} \)) x 15,000 = \( \frac{900,000}{100} \) = 9,000

The mayor got 61% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{61}{100} \)) x 9,000 = \( \frac{549,000}{100} \) = 5,490 votes.

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{10 + 8 + 13 + 5}{4} \) = \( \frac{36}{4} \) = 9
