A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $14, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$27.30
$19.60
$20.30
$0.70

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $14 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$14 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$70}{100} \) = $0.70 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$14.00 + ($14.00 - $0.70)
$14.00 + $13.30
$27.30

Solve 5 + (3 + 3) ÷ 4 x 2 - 52

52% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1
-17
\(\frac{6}{7}\)

Solution

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

5 + (3 + 3) ÷ 4 x 2 - 52
P: 5 + (6) ÷ 4 x 2 - 52
E: 5 + 6 ÷ 4 x 2 - 25
MD: 5 + \( \frac{6}{4} \) x 2 - 25
MD: 5 + \( \frac{12}{4} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{20}{4} \) + \( \frac{12}{4} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{32}{4} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{32 - 100}{4} \)
\( \frac{-68}{4} \)
-17

A triathlon course includes a 300m swim, a 40.8km bike ride, and a 5.9km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
43.3km
56.3km
47km
63.1km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 300 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.3km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.3km + 40.8km + 5.9km
total distance = 47km


4

What is -5z3 + 8z3?

66% Answer Correctly
3z3
13z3
13z-3
3z9

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-5z3 + 8z3
(-5 + 8)z3
3z3

Simplify \( \frac{24}{60} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{2}{5} \)
\( \frac{2}{3} \)
\( \frac{1}{2} \)
\( \frac{5}{16} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 24 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24] and the factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12] making 12 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{24}{60} \) = \( \frac{\frac{24}{12}}{\frac{60}{12}} \) = \( \frac{2}{5} \)
