1

The total water usage for a city is 35,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 25% is for personal use and 60% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
12,250
9,450
10,800
5,000

Solution

60% of the water consumption is industrial use and 25% is personal use so (60% - 25%) = 35% more water is used for industrial purposes. 35,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{35}{100} \) x 35,000 gallons = 12,250 gallons.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 35% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $19, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$6.65
$7.60
$0.95
$9.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $19 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$19 x 35}{100} \) = \( \frac{$665}{100} \) = $6.65 on the second shirt.

If there were a total of 400 raffle tickets sold and you bought 16 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
5%
4%
11%
8%

Solution

You have 16 out of the total of 400 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{16}{400} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{16 \times 100}{400} \) = \( \frac{1600}{400} \) = 4% chance to win the raffle.
