A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $32, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$8.00
$12.80
$9.60
$14.40

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $32 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$32 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1440}{100} \) = $14.40 on the second shirt.

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 90 pounds of food in 6 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 135 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
3
7
8
1

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 90 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{90}{6} \) = 15 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 135 - 90 = 45 more pounds of food to reach 135 pounds total. At 15 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{45}{15} \) = 3 more days.


4

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $17, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$24.65
$29.75
$21.25
$12.75

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $17 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$17 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$425}{100} \) = $4.25 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$17.00 + ($17.00 - $4.25)
$17.00 + $12.75
$29.75


5

What is \( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{4}{7} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{5}{7}\)
\(\frac{16}{63}\)
\(\frac{1}{21}\)
\(\frac{4}{21}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{9} \) x \( \frac{4}{7} \) = \( \frac{3 x 4}{9 x 7} \) = \( \frac{12}{63} \) = \(\frac{4}{21}\)
