Charlie loaned Roger $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$15
$18
$60
$99

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 $1,100
i = 0.09 x $1,100
i = $99


3

In a class of 29 students, 10 are taking German and 14 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 4 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
11
23
9
22

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 10 + 14 = 24. Of that group of 24, 4 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 24 - 4 = 20 who are taking at least one language. 29 - 20 = 9 students who are not taking either language.

Simplify \( \frac{32}{52} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{2} \)
\( \frac{10}{17} \)
\( \frac{8}{13} \)
\( \frac{9}{19} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 52 are [1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{32}{52} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{4}}{\frac{52}{4}} \) = \( \frac{8}{13} \)
