Charlie loaned Christine $300 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$324
$312
$309
$321

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 $300
i = 0.03 x $300

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

total = $300 + $9
total = $309

-3b3
13b3
3b-3
-3b-3

Solution

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

(8 + 5)b3
13b3

If a car travels 135 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
45 mph
25 mph
60 mph
15 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{135mi}{3h} \)
45 mph

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
37
47
46
48

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46
