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
20%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
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\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{36}{81}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{36}{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{6^2}}{\sqrt{9^2}} \)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $38, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$15.20
$3.80
$1.90
$13.30

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $38 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$38 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1520}{100} \) = $15.20 on the second shirt.
