A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
25%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 20% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $33, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$42.90
$44.55
$59.40
$41.25

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $33 x \( \frac{20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$33 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$660}{100} \) = $6.60 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$33.00 + ($33.00 - $6.60)
$33.00 + $26.40
$59.40


3

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for division

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

Find the average of the following numbers: 15, 7, 14, 8.

75% Answer Correctly
10
6
9
11

Solution

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

\( \frac{15 + 7 + 14 + 8}{4} \) = \( \frac{44}{4} \) = 11


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
61
65
68
67

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61
