Monty loaned Latoya $800 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?

71% Answer Correctly
$824
$848
$864
$816

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 $800
i = 0.02 x $800

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $800 + $16
total = $816


2

What is 8y4 x 2y2?

75% Answer Correctly
16y4
16y8
10y4
16y6

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

8y4 x 2y2
(8 x 2)y(4 + 2)
16y6


3

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
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
15%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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


4

What is \( \frac{6\sqrt{40}}{3\sqrt{8}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{6\sqrt{40}}{3\sqrt{8}} \)
\( \frac{6}{3} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{40}{8}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{5} \)


5

Find the average of the following numbers: 15, 13, 16, 12.

75% Answer Correctly
14
18
13
17

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{15 + 13 + 16 + 12}{4} \) = \( \frac{56}{4} \) = 14
