Alex loaned Diane $600 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
$630
$648
$642
$624

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 = 0.05 x $600

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

total = $600 + $30
total = $630

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 42 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
98 m2
50 m2
8 m2
162 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 42 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 42.

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

2w + 2h = 42
w + h = \( \frac{42}{2} \)
w + h = 21
w = 21 - h

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

w = 21 - 2w
3w = 21
w = \( \frac{21}{3} \)
w = 7

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 7) = 14 and the area = h x w = 7 x 14 = 98 m2

Monica scored 91% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 240 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Monica answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
73
61
84
74

Solution

Monica scored 91% on the test meaning she earned 91% of the possible points on the test. There were 240 possible points on the test so she earned 240 x 0.91 = 219 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{219}{3} \) = 73 questions right.

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 40% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
35%
20%

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 40% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{40\text{%}}{2} \) = 20%


5

Roger loaned Monty $1,300 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$56
$48
$28
$91

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 $1,300
i = 0.07 x $1,300
i = $91
