A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $10, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$3.50
$5.00
$4.00
$2.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $10 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$10 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$500}{100} \) = $5.00 on the second shirt.

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.

Diane scored 80% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 90 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Diane answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
30
38
24
11

Solution

Diane scored 80% on the test meaning she earned 80% of the possible points on the test. There were 90 possible points on the test so she earned 90 x 0.8 = 72 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{72}{3} \) = 24 questions right.
