Alex loaned Latoya $600 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$612
$618
$606
$648

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 = 0.08 x $600

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

total = $600 + $48
total = $648

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $32, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$44.80
$60.80
$3.20
$35.20

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $32 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$32 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$320}{100} \) = $3.20 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$32.00 + ($32.00 - $3.20)
$32.00 + $28.80
$60.80

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
280 miles
150 miles
75 miles
250 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 75mph \times 1h \)
75 miles


4

If a car travels 35 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
45 mph
65 mph
25 mph
35 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 = \( \frac{35mi}{1h} \)
35 mph


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 420 miles at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
3 hours
4 hours
2 hours
6 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{420mi}{70mph} \)
6 hours
