A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $10, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.00
$0.50
$2.50
$3.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $10 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$10 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$350}{100} \) = $3.50 on the second shirt.


2

If a car travels 60 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
35 mph
30 mph
25 mph
55 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{60mi}{2h} \)
30 mph


3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $37, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$55.50
$49.95
$18.50
$42.55

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $37 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$37 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1850}{100} \) = $18.50 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$37.00 + ($37.00 - $18.50)
$37.00 + $18.50
$55.50

If a mayor is elected with 89% of the votes cast and 46% of a town's 10,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
4,094
2,714
3,036
4,048

Solution

If 46% of the town's 10,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{46}{100} \)) x 10,000 = \( \frac{460,000}{100} \) = 4,600

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

(\( \frac{89}{100} \)) x 4,600 = \( \frac{409,400}{100} \) = 4,094 votes.

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
37
54
46
44

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46
