If there were a total of 250 raffle tickets sold and you bought 22 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
10%
7%
18%
9%

Solution

You have 22 out of the total of 250 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{22}{250} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{22 \times 100}{250} \) = \( \frac{2200}{250} \) = 9% chance to win the raffle.

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

integer

fraction

improper fraction

mixed number


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
22
31
35
32

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(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 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31

Bob loaned Diane $700 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
$714
$763
$728
$756

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 $700
i = 0.08 x $700

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

total = $700 + $56
total = $756

Simplify \( \sqrt{18} \)

62% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{4} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{18} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
