A machine in a factory has an error rate of 7 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 6 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 7 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
94.9
128
121
122.2

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{7}{100} \) x 6 = \( \frac{7 \times 6}{100} \) = \( \frac{42}{100} \) = 0.42 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 6 - 0.42 = 5.58 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 7 = 17 hours yesterday so you would expect that 17 x 5.58 = 94.9 error free parts were produced yesterday.

Jennifer scored 95% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Jennifer answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
48
61
42
57

Solution

Jennifer scored 95% on the test meaning she earned 95% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.95 = 114 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{114}{2} \) = 57 questions right.

Monty loaned Diane $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,070
$1,060
$1,010
$1,080

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 $1,000
i = 0.01 x $1,000

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

total = $1,000 + $10
total = $1,010
