A machine in a factory has an error rate of 7 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 10 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 2 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
204.6
172.9
180.5
215.6

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{7}{100} \) x 10 = \( \frac{7 \times 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{70}{100} \) = 0.7 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 10 - 0.7 = 9.3 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 2 = 22 hours yesterday so you would expect that 22 x 9.3 = 204.6 error free parts were produced yesterday.

If there were a total of 200 raffle tickets sold and you bought 16 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
17%
8%
5%
11%

Solution

You have 16 out of the total of 200 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{16}{200} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{16 \times 100}{200} \) = \( \frac{1600}{200} \) = 8% chance to win the raffle.

Bob loaned Damon $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$9
$28
$81
$60

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 $1,500
i = 0.04 x $1,500
i = $60

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $21, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$22.05
$27.30
$38.85
$24.15

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $21 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$21 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$315}{100} \) = $3.15 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$21.00 + ($21.00 - $3.15)
$21.00 + $17.85
$38.85
