A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 30% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $16, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$27.20
$18.40
$16.80
$11.20

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $16 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$16 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$480}{100} \) = $4.80 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$16.00 + ($16.00 - $4.80)
$16.00 + $11.20
$27.20

3

A triathlon course includes a 500m swim, a 50.9km bike ride, and a 12.8km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
63.7km
55.8km
64.2km
52.2km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 500 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.5km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.5km + 50.9km + 12.8km
total distance = 64.2km


4

What is \( \frac{3}{4} \) + \( \frac{4}{6} \)?

59% Answer Correctly
1 \( \frac{7}{11} \)
2 \( \frac{5}{8} \)
1\(\frac{5}{12}\)
2 \( \frac{5}{9} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 4 and 6 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{3 x 3}{4 x 3} \) + \( \frac{4 x 2}{6 x 2} \)

\( \frac{9}{12} \) + \( \frac{8}{12} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{9 + 8}{12} \) = \( \frac{17}{12} \) = 1\(\frac{5}{12}\)

If a car travels 80 miles in 2 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
30 mph
15 mph
40 mph
45 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 = \( \frac{80mi}{2h} \)
40 mph
