If there were a total of 50 raffle tickets sold and you bought 1 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
| 5% | |
| 2% | |
| 15% | |
| 11% |
You have 1 out of the total of 50 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{1}{50} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{1 \times 100}{50} \) = \( \frac{100}{50} \) = 2% chance to win the raffle.
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $48, how much will he pay for both shirts?
| $12.00 | |
| $36.00 | |
| $62.40 | |
| $84.00 |
By buying two shirts, Roger will save $48 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$48 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1200}{100} \) = $12.00 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$48.00 + ($48.00 - $12.00)
$48.00 + $36.00
$84.00
13 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 4 2-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?
| 2 | |
| 7 | |
| 9 | |
| 5 |
There are 4 2-passenger taxis available so that's 4 x 2 = 8 total seats. There are 13 people needing transportation leaving 13 - 8 = 5 who will have to find other transportation.
What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) + \( \frac{8}{10} \)?
| 2 \( \frac{9}{15} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{6}{30} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{15}\) | |
| 1 \( \frac{9}{14} \) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [30, 60, 90] making 30 the smallest multiple 6 and 10 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{2 x 5}{6 x 5} \) + \( \frac{8 x 3}{10 x 3} \)
\( \frac{10}{30} \) + \( \frac{24}{30} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{10 + 24}{30} \) = \( \frac{34}{30} \) = 1\(\frac{2}{15}\)
What is 7z6 - 8z6?
| 15z12 | |
| -z6 | |
| z-6 | |
| z6 |
To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:
7z6 - 8z6
(7 - 8)z6
-z6
