Damon loaned Charlie $500 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
$44
$81
$25
$36

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 $500
i = 0.05 x $500
i = $25

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
70
56
61
53

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61

Simplify \( \sqrt{50} \)

62% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{4} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{4} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
28
21
29
23

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 4
a6 = 17 + 4
a6 = 21

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 39,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
25,600
29,250
32,250
25,000

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:

39,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{117000}{4} \) = 29,250 fans.
