Solve for \( \frac{2!}{3!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{9} \)
56
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{2!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{1}{3} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $27, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$12.15
$9.45
$10.80
$4.05

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $27 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$27 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1080}{100} \) = $10.80 on the second shirt.

Charlie loaned Christine $200 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$212
$202
$208
$204

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 $200
i = 0.02 x $200

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

total = $200 + $4
total = $204


4

How many 8-passenger vans will it take to drive all 81 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
10 vans
13 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 = \( \frac{81}{8} \) = 10\(\frac{1}{8}\)

So, it will take 10 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 11 vans.


5

Roger loaned Roger $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$48
$9
$18
$22

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 = 0.02 x $1,100
i = $22
