A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $35, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$66.50
$3.50
$31.50
$47.25

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $35 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$35 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$350}{100} \) = $3.50 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$35.00 + ($35.00 - $3.50)
$35.00 + $31.50
$66.50

7 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 2 3-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
1
5
6
9

Solution

There are 2 3-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 3 = 6 total seats. There are 7 people needing transportation leaving 7 - 6 = 1 who will have to find other transportation.


3

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{28} \) + \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
54\( \sqrt{7} \)
24\( \sqrt{7} \)
54\( \sqrt{28} \)
54\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{28} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
9\( \sqrt{4 \times 7} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
9\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 7} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
(9)(2)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
18\( \sqrt{7} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

18\( \sqrt{7} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
(18 + 6)\( \sqrt{7} \)
24\( \sqrt{7} \)


4

Find the average of the following numbers: 9, 3, 7, 5.

74% Answer Correctly
5
7
10
6

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{9 + 3 + 7 + 5}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6


5

If a mayor is elected with 87% of the votes cast and 59% of a town's 44,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
19,989
22,585
22,326
13,499

Solution

If 59% of the town's 44,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{59}{100} \)) x 44,000 = \( \frac{2,596,000}{100} \) = 25,960

The mayor got 87% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{87}{100} \)) x 25,960 = \( \frac{2,258,520}{100} \) = 22,585 votes.
