1

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 30% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
15%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 30% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{30\text{%}}{2} \) = 15%


2

3

Diane scored 86% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 150 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
58
32
51
43

Solution

Diane scored 86% on the test meaning she earned 86% of the possible points on the test. There were 150 possible points on the test so she earned 150 x 0.86 = 129 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{129}{3} \) = 43 questions right.


4

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 42,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
27,750
34,167
31,667
31,500

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:

42,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{126000}{4} \) = 31,500 fans.


5

What is \( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{21}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{48}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4}{8} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \) = \( \frac{4 x 3}{8 x 9} \) = \( \frac{12}{72} \) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
