Bob loaned April $1,300 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
$1,352
$1,378
$1,404
$1,326

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 $1,300
i = 0.08 x $1,300

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

total = $1,300 + $104
total = $1,404


2

3

Solve for \( \frac{2!}{4!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
72
\( \frac{1}{12} \)
\( \frac{1}{120} \)
840

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{2!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{12} \)


4

Simplify \( \sqrt{50} \)

62% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{5}{8}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{1}{2}\) - \(\frac{5}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{28}{8} \) - \( \frac{5}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{23}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
