Charlie loaned Damon $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$18
$6
$42
$10

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 $1,400
i = 0.03 x $1,400
i = $42

17 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 3-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
9
5
4

Solution

There are 4 3-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 3 = 12 total seats. There are 17 people needing transportation leaving 17 - 12 = 5 who will have to find other transportation.

If all of a roofing company's 6 workers are required to staff 3 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 6 complete crews out on jobs?

55% Answer Correctly
6
17
10
19

Solution

In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 6 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 3 crews so there are \( \frac{6}{3} \) = 2 workers on a crew. 6 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 2 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 6 x 2 = 12 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 6 workers so they need to add 12 - 6 = 6 new staff for the busy season.

5

What is \( \frac{27\sqrt{15}}{9\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{27\sqrt{15}}{9\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{27}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{15}{5}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)
