Damon loaned Betty $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,166
$1,155
$1,144
$1,188

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 $1,100
i = 0.05 x $1,100

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

total = $1,100 + $55
total = $1,155

If a car travels 65 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

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

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 24 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
98 m2
128 m2
32 m2
50 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 24 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 24.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 24
w + h = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
w + h = 12
w = 12 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 12 - 2w
3w = 12
w = \( \frac{12}{3} \)
w = 4

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 4) = 8 and the area = h x w = 4 x 8 = 32 m2

8
3

Solution

The factors of 40 are [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40] and the factors of 24 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 the greatest factor 40 and 24 have in common.
