A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $43, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$75.25
$58.05
$60.20
$64.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $43 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$43 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1075}{100} \) = $10.75 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$43.00 + ($43.00 - $10.75)
$43.00 + $32.25
$75.25

Monty loaned Latoya $600 at an annual interest rate of 9%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$612
$654
$648
$636

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 $600
i = 0.09 x $600

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

total = $600 + $54
total = $654


4

What is b5 x 6b6?

75% Answer Correctly
7b5
6b5
6b11
6b6

Solution

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

b5 x 6b6
(1 x 6)b(5 + 6)
6b11


5

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 12 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
98 m2
8 m2
162 m2
18 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 12 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 12.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 12
w + h = \( \frac{12}{2} \)
w + h = 6
w = 6 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 6 - 2w
3w = 6
w = \( \frac{6}{3} \)
w = 2

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 2) = 4 and the area = h x w = 2 x 4 = 8 m2
