Betty scored 89% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 270 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
85
80
86
93

Solution

Betty scored 89% on the test meaning she earned 89% of the possible points on the test. There were 270 possible points on the test so she earned 270 x 0.89 = 240 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{240}{3} \) = 80 questions right.

Monty loaned Diane $600 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$636
$624
$648
$630

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 $600
i = 0.04 x $600

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $600 + $24
total = $624

In a class of 24 students, 5 are taking German and 11 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 2 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
10
15
11
13

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 5 + 11 = 16. Of that group of 16, 2 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 16 - 2 = 14 who are taking at least one language. 24 - 14 = 10 students who are not taking either language.
