A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $36, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$18.00
$7.20
$1.80
$3.60

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $36 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$36 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$180}{100} \) = $1.80 on the second shirt.

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


3

4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
37
33
31
35

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 6

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 + 6
a6 = 25 + 6
a6 = 31


5

What is (a4)3?

80% Answer Correctly
a12
a7
a
3a4

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(a4)3
a(4 * 3)
a12
