Damon loaned Alex $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$90
$6
$50
$28

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 = 0.05 x $1,000
i = $50

Solve for \( \frac{5!}{2!} \)

66% Answer Correctly
60
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{210} \)
42

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{5!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3}{1} \)
\( 5 \times 4 \times 3 \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $22, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.30
$9.90
$1.10
$5.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $22 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$22 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$550}{100} \) = $5.50 on the second shirt.


5

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $40, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$54.00
$70.00
$10.00
$30.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $40 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$40 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1000}{100} \) = $10.00 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$40.00 + ($40.00 - $10.00)
$40.00 + $30.00
$70.00
