Frank loaned Ezra $800 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$12
$32
$30
$42

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

i = 0.04 x $800
i = $32

How many 8-passenger vans will it take to drive all 61 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
8 vans
6 vans
13 vans
7 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{61}{8} \) = 7\(\frac{5}{8}\)

So, it will take 7 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 8 vans.
