1

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 $47, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$7.05
$16.45
$21.15
$9.40

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $47 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$47 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$705}{100} \) = $7.05 on the second shirt.


2

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

78% Answer Correctly

mixed number

integer

improper fraction

fraction


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

How many hours does it take a car to travel 405 miles at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
9 hours
3 hours
5 hours
8 hours

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{405mi}{45mph} \)
9 hours


4

Simplify \( \frac{32}{60} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{8}{17} \)
\( \frac{8}{15} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{4}{19} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{32}{60} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{4}}{\frac{60}{4}} \) = \( \frac{8}{15} \)

Bob loaned Christine $1,100 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
$1,199
$1,122
$1,133
$1,177

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 $1,100
i = 0.03 x $1,100

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

total = $1,100 + $33
total = $1,133
