Damon loaned Monica $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,575
$1,560
$1,605
$1,620

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 $1,500
i = 0.07 x $1,500

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

total = $1,500 + $105
total = $1,605

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $31, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$44.95
$4.65
$32.55
$57.35

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $31 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$31 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$465}{100} \) = $4.65 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$31.00 + ($31.00 - $4.65)
$31.00 + $26.35
$57.35

5

How many 8-passenger vans will it take to drive all 65 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
9 vans
4 vans
11 vans
7 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{65}{8} \) = 8\(\frac{1}{8}\)

So, it will take 8 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 9 vans.
