If a mayor is elected with 87% of the votes cast and 90% of a town's 29,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
22,707
20,880
19,575
23,229

Solution

If 90% of the town's 29,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{90}{100} \)) x 29,000 = \( \frac{2,610,000}{100} \) = 26,100

The mayor got 87% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{87}{100} \)) x 26,100 = \( \frac{2,270,700}{100} \) = 22,707 votes.

A triathlon course includes a 100m swim, a 50.8km bike ride, and a 13.8km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
35.6km
64.7km
57.2km
27.6km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 100 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.1km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.1km + 50.8km + 13.8km
total distance = 64.7km

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
41
33
43
32

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 8

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 + 8
a6 = 33 + 8
a6 = 41

Ezra loaned Charlie $100 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$18
$12
$42
$9

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 = 0.09 x $100
i = $9
