Frank loaned Betty $300 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$303
$315
$312
$321

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 $300
i = 0.05 x $300

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

total = $300 + $15
total = $315

What is the greatest common factor of 76 and 76?

77% Answer Correctly
37
76
2
28

Solution

The factors of 76 are [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76] and the factors of 76 are [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76] making 76 the greatest factor 76 and 76 have in common.

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 40% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 45% of his shots. If the guard takes 20 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

42% Answer Correctly
15
23
31
19

Solution
If the guard hits 45% of his shots and takes 20 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 20 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{45 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{900}{100} \) = 9 shots

The center makes 40% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{9}{\frac{40}{100}} \) = 9 x \( \frac{100}{40} \) = \( \frac{9 x 100}{40} \) = \( \frac{900}{40} \) = 23 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.


4

5

What is -3x5 - 7x5?

71% Answer Correctly
4x5
-10x5
-10x-5
4x25

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-3x5 - 7x5
(-3 - 7)x5
-10x5
