A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 40% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $39, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$62.40
$23.40
$46.80
$50.70

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $39 x \( \frac{40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$39 x 40}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1560}{100} \) = $15.60 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$39.00 + ($39.00 - $15.60)
$39.00 + $23.40
$62.40

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{36}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{6^2}} \)
\( \frac{7}{6} \)
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)

Convert b-4 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-4b^{4}} \)
\( \frac{1}{b^4} \)
\( \frac{-1}{b^{-4}} \)
\( \frac{-4}{b} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.

What is 7y5 x 6y5?

75% Answer Correctly
42y25
13y25
42y10
13y5

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:

7y5 x 6y5
(7 x 6)y(5 + 5)
42y10
