Diane scored 76% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 320 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
73
66
60
61

Solution

Diane scored 76% on the test meaning she earned 76% of the possible points on the test. There were 320 possible points on the test so she earned 320 x 0.76 = 244 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{244}{4} \) = 61 questions right.

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 9 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 9 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
7:8
81:2
3:2
9:2

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 9:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 9:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 81:18 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 18:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 81:18, 18:2 which reduces to 81:2.

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 35% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%

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 35% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{35\text{%}}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

There are 2 4-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 4 = 8 total seats. There are 10 people needing transportation leaving 10 - 8 = 2 who will have to find other transportation.
