A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
25%
35%
20%

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 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%

Diane scored 75% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 400 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
79
72
75
85

Solution

Diane scored 75% on the test meaning she earned 75% of the possible points on the test. There were 400 possible points on the test so she earned 400 x 0.75 = 300 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{300}{4} \) = 75 questions right.


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
14
6
7
3

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 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 + 1
a6 = 5 + 1
a6 = 6


4

How many 9-passenger vans will it take to drive all 99 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
3 vans
11 vans
8 vans
7 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{99}{9} \) = 11


5

Convert x-5 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-5x} \)
\( \frac{-5}{x} \)
\( \frac{1}{x^{-5}} \)
\( \frac{1}{x^5} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.
