A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $43, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$19.35
$6.45
$2.15
$15.05

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $43 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$43 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1505}{100} \) = $15.05 on the second shirt.


3

Find the average of the following numbers: 8, 6, 8, 6.

75% Answer Correctly
11
9
7
10

Solution

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

\( \frac{8 + 6 + 8 + 6}{4} \) = \( \frac{28}{4} \) = 7


4

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?

51% Answer Correctly
25%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
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\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


5

What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{8} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
5\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
32
\(\frac{1}{40}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{8} \) = \( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{8}{1} \)

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

\( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{8}{1} \) = \( \frac{4 x 8}{6 x 1} \) = \( \frac{32}{6} \) = 5\(\frac{1}{3}\)
