Charlie loaned Betty $100 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$103
$108
$106
$101

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 = 0.03 x $100

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

total = $100 + $3
total = $103


2

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
35%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
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\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

4

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


5

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 5:1 and all 47,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
39,167
37,500
20,000
37,600

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:

47,000 fans x \( \frac{5}{6} \) = \( \frac{235000}{6} \) = 39,167 fans.
