Bob loaned Jennifer $1,000 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?
| $1,040 | |
| $1,010 | |
| $1,020 | |
| $1,050 |
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 $1,000
i = 0.02 x $1,000
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $1,000 + $20a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

commutative property for division |
The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 54 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 162 m2 | |
| 128 m2 | |
| 32 m2 | |
| 50 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 54 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 54.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 54
w + h = \( \frac{54}{2} \)
w + h = 27
w = 27 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 27 - 2w
3w = 27
w = \( \frac{27}{3} \)
w = 9
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 9) = 18 and the area = h x w = 9 x 18 = 162 m2
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?
| 385 miles | |
| 490 miles | |
| 180 miles | |
| 140 miles |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 70mph \times 7h \)
490 miles
