A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 30% off." If Charlie buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $28, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$2.80
$5.60
$8.40
$9.80

Solution

By buying two shirts, Charlie will save $28 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$28 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$840}{100} \) = $8.40 on the second shirt.

If a car travels 175 miles in 7 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
25 mph
45 mph
50 mph
65 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{175mi}{7h} \)
25 mph


4

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.
