Bob loaned April $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,545
$1,530
$1,560
$1,575

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 $1,500
i = 0.04 x $1,500

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

total = $1,500 + $60
total = $1,560

If a mayor is elected with 73% of the votes cast and 80% of a town's 30,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
17,280
12,240
17,520
13,680

Solution

If 80% of the town's 30,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{80}{100} \)) x 30,000 = \( \frac{2,400,000}{100} \) = 24,000

The mayor got 73% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{73}{100} \)) x 24,000 = \( \frac{1,752,000}{100} \) = 17,520 votes.

57% Answer Correctly
31
34
46
40

Solution

Diane scored 80% on the test meaning she earned 80% of the possible points on the test. There were 100 possible points on the test so she earned 100 x 0.8 = 80 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{80}{2} \) = 40 questions right.
