Charlie loaned Roger $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly

	$90
	$36
	$8
	$48

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 $1,000
i = 0.09 x $1,000
i = $90

Cooks are needed to prepare for a large party. Each cook can bake either 2 large cakes or 15 small cakes per hour. The kitchen is available for 3 hours and 40 large cakes and 210 small cakes need to be baked.

How many cooks are required to bake the required number of cakes during the time the kitchen is available?

41% Answer Correctly

	14
	12
	13
	9

Solution

If a single cook can bake 2 large cakes per hour and the kitchen is available for 3 hours, a single cook can bake 2 x 3 = 6 large cakes during that time. 40 large cakes are needed for the party so $ \frac{40}{6} $ = 6$\frac{2}{3}$ cooks are needed to bake the required number of large cakes.

If a single cook can bake 15 small cakes per hour and the kitchen is available for 3 hours, a single cook can bake 15 x 3 = 45 small cakes during that time. 210 small cakes are needed for the party so $ \frac{210}{45} $ = 4$\frac{2}{3}$ cooks are needed to bake the required number of small cakes.

Because you can't employ a fractional cook, round the number of cooks needed for each type of cake up to the next whole number resulting in 7 + 5 = 12 cooks.

Solve 5 + (5 + 5) ÷ 4 x 2 - 5²

53% Answer Correctly

	$\frac{5}{6}$
	1$\frac{2}{7}$
	-15
	$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (5 + 5) ÷ 4 x 2 - 5²
P: 5 + (10) ÷ 4 x 2 - 5²
E: 5 + 10 ÷ 4 x 2 - 25
MD: 5 + $ \frac{10}{4} $ x 2 - 25
MD: 5 + $ \frac{20}{4} $ - 25
AS: $ \frac{20}{4} $ + $ \frac{20}{4} $ - 25
AS: $ \frac{40}{4} $ - 25
AS: $ \frac{40 - 100}{4} $
$ \frac{-60}{4} $
-15
