Monty loaned Charlie $800 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$18
$24
$11
$64

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 $800
i = 0.08 x $800
i = $64

A triathlon course includes a 500m swim, a 50.5km bike ride, and a 6.1km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
29.2km
57.1km
36.7km
51.4km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 500 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.5km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.5km + 50.5km + 6.1km
total distance = 57.1km

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 25% 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
24
17
36
29

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 25% 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 = \( \frac{9}{\frac{25}{100}} \) = 9 x \( \frac{100}{25} \) = \( \frac{9 x 100}{25} \) = \( \frac{900}{25} \) = 36 shots

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

What is \( \frac{9x^6}{6x^3} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x3
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x-3
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x18

Solution

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

\( \frac{9x^6}{6x^3} \)
\( \frac{9}{6} \) x(6 - 3)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x3
