Damon loaned Betty $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
$109
$102
$104
$107

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


2

What is \( \frac{1}{6} \) x \( \frac{2}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{1}{27}\)
\(\frac{1}{63}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{1}{6} \) x \( \frac{2}{9} \) = \( \frac{1 x 2}{6 x 9} \) = \( \frac{2}{54} \) = \(\frac{1}{27}\)


3

Convert c-5 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-5c} \)
\( \frac{1}{c^5} \)
\( \frac{-1}{c^{-5}} \)
\( \frac{1}{c^{-5}} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


4

What is -8y3 x 3y6?

75% Answer Correctly
-5y18
-5y6
-5y3
-24y9

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-8y3 x 3y6
(-8 x 3)y(3 + 6)
-24y9


5

What is -y5 + 9y5?

66% Answer Correctly
-10y5
10y-5
8y5
8y25

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-1y5 + 9y5
(-1 + 9)y5
8y5
