Charlie loaned Roger $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$64
$91
$12
$126

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 $1,400
i = 0.09 x $1,400
i = $126


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 50% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
20%
25%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 50% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{50\text{%}}{2} \) = 25%


3

If a mayor is elected with 89% of the votes cast and 75% of a town's 39,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
19,305
26,033
26,325
23,108

Solution

If 75% of the town's 39,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{75}{100} \)) x 39,000 = \( \frac{2,925,000}{100} \) = 29,250

The mayor got 89% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{89}{100} \)) x 29,250 = \( \frac{2,603,250}{100} \) = 26,033 votes.

5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 50,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
37,600
32,000
27,000
33,333

Solution

A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

50,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{100000}{3} \) = 33,333 fans.
