Monty loaned Latoya $1,500 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
$1,635
$1,515
$1,560
$1,590

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 = 0.01 x $1,500

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

total = $1,500 + $15
total = $1,515


3

If a mayor is elected with 75% of the votes cast and 86% of a town's 36,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
17,028
17,338
25,078
23,220

Solution

If 86% of the town's 36,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{86}{100} \)) x 36,000 = \( \frac{3,096,000}{100} \) = 30,960

The mayor got 75% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{75}{100} \)) x 30,960 = \( \frac{2,322,000}{100} \) = 23,220 votes.


4

Simplify \( \frac{28}{60} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{2}{3} \)
\( \frac{3}{7} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{7}{15} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 28 are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28] 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:

\( \frac{28}{60} \) = \( \frac{\frac{28}{4}}{\frac{60}{4}} \) = \( \frac{7}{15} \)


5

If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 17 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
19%
12%
5%
7%

Solution

You have 17 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{17}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{17 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{1700}{350} \) = 5% chance to win the raffle.
