Charlie loaned April $800 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$872
$816
$840
$864

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 = 0.02 x $800

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

total = $800 + $16
total = $816

How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 4 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
2
8
4
9

Solution

To fill a 4 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 2 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{2 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 2


3

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 84 pounds of food in 7 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 156 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
6
13
1
2

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 84 pounds of food in 7 days that's \( \frac{84}{7} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 156 - 84 = 72 more pounds of food to reach 156 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{72}{12} \) = 6 more days.

Simplify \( \frac{24}{72} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{6}{11} \)
\( \frac{2}{9} \)
\( \frac{5}{9} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 24 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24] and the factors of 72 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72]. They share 8 factors [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24] making 24 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{24}{72} \) = \( \frac{\frac{24}{24}}{\frac{72}{24}} \) = \( \frac{1}{3} \)

What is 6z6 - 2z6?

71% Answer Correctly
-4z-6
8z12
8z6
4z6

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

6z6 - 2z6
(6 - 2)z6
4z6
