A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $15, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$0.75
$5.25
$4.50
$6.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $15 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$15 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$525}{100} \) = $5.25 on the second shirt.


2

Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


3

What is \( \frac{2a^8}{3a^3} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)a5
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)a11
\(\frac{2}{3}\)a5
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)a-5

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:

\( \frac{2a^8}{3a^3} \)
\( \frac{2}{3} \) a(8 - 3)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)a5


4

Ezra loaned Diane $500 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
$505
$525
$540
$515

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 $500
i = 0.08 x $500

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

total = $500 + $40
total = $540


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
68
52
63
61

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61
