Bob loaned Frank $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$20
$10
$36
$30

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 $1,000
i = 0.02 x $1,000
i = $20

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
16
18
10
23

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3

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
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16

If there were a total of 150 raffle tickets sold and you bought 6 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
1%
9%
4%
19%

Solution

You have 6 out of the total of 150 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{6}{150} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{6 \times 100}{150} \) = \( \frac{600}{150} \) = 4% chance to win the raffle.


5

What is (z2)4?

80% Answer Correctly
z-2
z8
2z4
z6

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(z2)4
z(2 * 4)
z8
