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?
| $630 | |
| $648 | |
| $642 | |
| $624 |
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 + $30If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 42 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 98 m2 | |
| 50 m2 | |
| 8 m2 | |
| 162 m2 |
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?
| 73 | |
| 61 | |
| 84 | |
| 74 |
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?
| 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 35% | |
| 20% |
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%
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?
| $56 | |
| $48 | |
| $28 | |
| $91 |
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
