1

If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 28 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
8%
1%
7%
13%

Solution

You have 28 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{28}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{28 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{2800}{350} \) = 8% chance to win the raffle.


2

A bread recipe calls for 3\(\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. If you only have \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{1}{8}\) cups
1\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (3\(\frac{1}{4}\) - \(\frac{1}{2}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{26}{8} \) - \( \frac{4}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{22}{8} \) cups
2\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups


3

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 65% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
15%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 65% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{65\text{%}}{2} \) = 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


4

Frank loaned Christine $100 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$102
$104
$106
$107

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 $100
i = 0.07 x $100

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

total = $100 + $7
total = $107


5

If a mayor is elected with 51% of the votes cast and 57% of a town's 13,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
6,595
4,520
5,928
3,779

Solution

If 57% of the town's 13,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{57}{100} \)) x 13,000 = \( \frac{741,000}{100} \) = 7,410

The mayor got 51% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{51}{100} \)) x 7,410 = \( \frac{377,910}{100} \) = 3,779 votes.
