A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $10, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$0.50
$2.50
$3.50
$3.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $10 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$10 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$50}{100} \) = $0.50 on the second shirt.

5

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 42 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{42}{6} \) = 7 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 70 - 42 = 28 more pounds of food to reach 70 pounds total. At 7 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{28}{7} \) = 4 more days.

A bread recipe calls for 2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
3\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
3\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{1}{8}\) - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{17}{8} \) - \( \frac{12}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{5}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups


5
