Charlie loaned Monica $300 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$327
$324
$303
$312

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 $300
i = 0.09 x $300

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $300 + $27
total = $327


2

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


3

If there were a total of 200 raffle tickets sold and you bought 16 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
9%
6%
15%
8%

Solution

You have 16 out of the total of 200 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{16}{200} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{16 \times 100}{200} \) = \( \frac{1600}{200} \) = 8% chance to win the raffle.

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 40,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
26,667
30,000
32,800
40,000

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

40,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{120000}{4} \) = 30,000 fans.


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 450 miles at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
9 hours
1 hour
7 hours
3 hours

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 = \( \frac{450mi}{50mph} \)
9 hours
