A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 55% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
15%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 55% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{55\text{%}}{2} \) = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 20% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $43, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$77.40
$55.90
$62.35
$34.40

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $43 x \( \frac{20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$43 x 20}{100} \) = \( \frac{$860}{100} \) = $8.60 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$43.00 + ($43.00 - $8.60)
$43.00 + $34.40
$77.40

The total water usage for a city is 25,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 26% is for personal use and 47% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
13,950
5,250
9,450
9,600

Solution

47% of the water consumption is industrial use and 26% is personal use so (47% - 26%) = 21% more water is used for industrial purposes. 25,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{21}{100} \) x 25,000 gallons = 5,250 gallons.
