A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $37, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$5.55
$12.95
$1.85
$14.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $37 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$37 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1480}{100} \) = $14.80 on the second shirt.


2

What is \( \frac{42\sqrt{18}}{6\sqrt{6}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
3 \( \sqrt{7} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)
7 \( \sqrt{3} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{42\sqrt{18}}{6\sqrt{6}} \)
\( \frac{42}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{18}{6}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{3} \)


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 36?

68% Answer Correctly
33
30
7
1

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.


4

What is \( \frac{3}{5} \) - \( \frac{3}{7} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{6}{35}\)
\( \frac{9}{13} \)
2 \( \frac{3}{35} \)
2 \( \frac{7}{35} \)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [35, 70] making 35 the smallest multiple 5 and 7 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{3 x 7}{5 x 7} \) - \( \frac{3 x 5}{7 x 5} \)

\( \frac{21}{35} \) - \( \frac{15}{35} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:

\( \frac{21 - 15}{35} \) = \( \frac{6}{35} \) = \(\frac{6}{35}\)


5

What is (z5)5?

79% Answer Correctly
z0
z10
5z5
z25

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(z5)5
z(5 * 5)
z25
