Alex loaned Latoya $100 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$106
$109
$107
$108

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 $100
i = 0.08 x $100

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $100 + $8
total = $108


2

What is the least common multiple of 2 and 6?

72% Answer Correctly
10
4
6
9

Solution

The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60]. The first few multiples they share are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30] making 6 the smallest multiple 2 and 6 have in common.


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
35
26
17
28

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 5

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 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26


4

What is 3x2 x 3x4?

75% Answer Correctly
9x2
6x6
9x6
9x-2

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

3x2 x 3x4
(3 x 3)x(2 + 4)
9x6


5

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

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{4}{21}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{9}{64}\)

Solution

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

\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{3}{8} \) = \( \frac{3 x 3}{8 x 8} \) = \( \frac{9}{64} \) = \(\frac{9}{64}\)
