If a mayor is elected with 68% of the votes cast and 48% of a town's 18,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
7,258
5,875
7,517
5,789

Solution

If 48% of the town's 18,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{48}{100} \)) x 18,000 = \( \frac{864,000}{100} \) = 8,640

The mayor got 68% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{68}{100} \)) x 8,640 = \( \frac{587,520}{100} \) = 5,875 votes.

Betty scored 93% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 180 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
43
44
65
56

Solution

Betty scored 93% on the test meaning she earned 93% of the possible points on the test. There were 180 possible points on the test so she earned 180 x 0.93 = 168 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{168}{3} \) = 56 questions right.


3

What is 8z6 x 5z5?

75% Answer Correctly
40z11
40z-1
40z
13z11

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:

8z6 x 5z5
(8 x 5)z(6 + 5)
40z11


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 30 miles at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
4 hours
9 hours
7 hours
1 hour

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{30mi}{30mph} \)
1 hour


5

What is \( \frac{-6y^9}{1y^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{6}\)y-5
-6y5
-6y-5
-6y13

Solution

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

\( \frac{-6y^9}{y^4} \)
\( \frac{-6}{1} \) y(9 - 4)
-6y5
