3

April scored 74% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 100 possible points on the exam, how many questions did April answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
37
49
52
35

Solution

April scored 74% on the test meaning she earned 74% of the possible points on the test. There were 100 possible points on the test so she earned 100 x 0.74 = 74 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{74}{2} \) = 37 questions right.


4

If a mayor is elected with 57% of the votes cast and 61% of a town's 26,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
9,040
13,164
11,578
12,847

Solution

If 61% of the town's 26,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{61}{100} \)) x 26,000 = \( \frac{1,586,000}{100} \) = 15,860

The mayor got 57% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{57}{100} \)) x 15,860 = \( \frac{904,020}{100} \) = 9,040 votes.


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
42
47
54
46

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46
