A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $15, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.00
$0.75
$6.75
$6.00
Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $15 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$15 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$75}{100} \) = $0.75 on the second shirt.

Christine scored 90% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Christine answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
42
36
22
49
Solution

Christine scored 90% on the test meaning she earned 90% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.9 = 108 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{108}{3} \) = 36 questions right.

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 48 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
128 m2
18 m2
98 m2
32 m2
Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 48 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 48.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 48
w + h = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
w + h = 24
w = 24 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 24 - 2w
3w = 24
w = \( \frac{24}{3} \)
w = 8

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 8) = 16 and the area = h x w = 8 x 16 = 128 m2
