1

Monty loaned Damon $300 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
$60
$9
$24
$25

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 $300
i = 0.03 x $300
i = $9


2

What is \( \frac{2a^9}{9a^2} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)a-7
\(\frac{2}{9}\)a\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)a4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)a7

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{2a^9}{9a^2} \)
\( \frac{2}{9} \) a(9 - 2)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)a7


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
19
26
24
18

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 5

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 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26


4

What is \( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{4}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{14}\)
\(\frac{6}{49}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{8} \) x \( \frac{4}{6} \) = \( \frac{3 x 4}{8 x 6} \) = \( \frac{12}{48} \) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)


5

What is \( \frac{20\sqrt{25}}{4\sqrt{5}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
\(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{5} \)
5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{20\sqrt{25}}{4\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{20}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{5}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)
