1

Charlie loaned Bob $300 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$20
$18
$135
$50

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 = 0.06 x $300
i = $18

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{6!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
336
3024
\( \frac{1}{120} \)
\( \frac{1}{20} \)

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:

\( \frac{3!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5 \times 4} \)
\( \frac{1}{120} \)

Solve 5 + (4 + 2) ÷ 4 x 3 - 32

53% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
3
1\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (4 + 2) ÷ 4 x 3 - 32
P: 5 + (6) ÷ 4 x 3 - 32
E: 5 + 6 ÷ 4 x 3 - 9
MD: 5 + \( \frac{6}{4} \) x 3 - 9
MD: 5 + \( \frac{18}{4} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{20}{4} \) + \( \frac{18}{4} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{38}{4} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{38 - 36}{4} \)
\( \frac{2}{4} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

5

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 25% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 45% of his shots. If the guard takes 20 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

42% Answer Correctly
15
41
36
24

Solution
If the guard hits 45% of his shots and takes 20 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 20 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{45 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{900}{100} \) = 9 shots

The center makes 25% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{9}{\frac{25}{100}} \) = 9 x \( \frac{100}{25} \) = \( \frac{9 x 100}{25} \) = \( \frac{900}{25} \) = 36 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.
