Latoya scored 86% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 150 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Latoya answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
56
38
43
41

Solution

Latoya scored 86% on the test meaning she earned 86% of the possible points on the test. There were 150 possible points on the test so she earned 150 x 0.86 = 129 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{129}{3} \) = 43 questions right.

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 43,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

50% Answer Correctly
22,000
29,600
27,333
35,833

Solution

A ratio of 5:1 means that there are 5 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 6 fans, 5 are home fans and \( \frac{5}{6} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

43,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{215000}{6} \) = 35,833 fans.

Convert 2,019,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
2.019 x 106
2.019 x 10-5
0.202 x 107
2.019 x 10-6

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

2,019,000 in scientific notation is 2.019 x 106

A machine in a factory has an error rate of 9 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 5 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 9 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
91.2
192.1
77.6
68.3

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{9}{100} \) x 5 = \( \frac{9 \times 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{45}{100} \) = 0.45 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 5 - 0.45 = 4.55 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 9 = 15 hours yesterday so you would expect that 15 x 4.55 = 68.3 error free parts were produced yesterday.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 20% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $48, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$14.40
$9.60
$24.00
$4.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $48 x \( \frac{20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$48 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$960}{100} \) = $9.60 on the second shirt.
