Question 1: A retailer purchases a pack of gum from their supplier for 33 cents a pack. What would the price of 12 packs be?
- $6.93
- $6.39
- $3.69
- $3.96 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: $3.96
To find the total cost, multiply the cost per pack by the number of packs. 0.33 dollars/pack * 12 packs = 3.96 dollars. Therefore, 12 packs of gum would cost $3.96.
Question 2: How many inches are there in 17.5 feet?
- 175
- 192
- 210 (Correct answer)
- 245
Correct answer: 210
There are 12 inches in 1 foot. To convert feet to inches, multiply the number of feet by 12. So, 17.5 feet * 12 inches/foot = 210 inches.
Question 3: How much change do you have if you have 6 nickels, 5 quarters, and 3 dimes?
- $1.20
- $1.85 (Correct answer)
- $2.00
- $3.10
Correct answer: $1.85
First, calculate the value of each coin type: 6 nickels * $0.05 = $0.30; 5 quarters * $0.25 = $1.25; 3 dimes * $0.10 = $0.30. Then, sum these values to find the total change: $0.30 + $1.25 + $0.30 = $1.85.
Question 4: In.5 seconds, a race car can cover 100 feet. How far will the race car travel in a minute at this rate of speed?
- 12,000 feet (Correct answer)
- 11,000 feet
- 15,000 feet
- 16,000 feet
Correct answer: 12,000 feet
First, calculate the race car's speed in feet per second: 100 feet / 0.5 seconds = 200 feet/second. Next, convert one minute to seconds: 1 minute = 60 seconds. Finally, multiply the speed by the time in seconds to find the total distance: 200 feet/second * 60 seconds = 12,000 feet.
Question 5: A copy machine technician earns $12.50 per hour plus $4 for each visit he makes to the machine. He put in 34 hours and 6 service calls the previous week. He made how much money?
- $396
- $449 (Correct answer)
- $512
- $601
Correct answer: $449
First, calculate the technician's hourly wages: 34 hours * $12.50/hour = $425. Next, calculate the earnings from service calls: 6 calls * $4/call = $24. Finally, add both amounts to find the total earnings: $425 + $24 = $449.
Question 6: On a $33 meal, you want to give a 15% tip. What is the night's total cost?
- $34.50
- $36.20
- $37.95 (Correct answer)
- $38.20
Correct answer: $37.95
First, calculate the tip amount: $33 * 0.15 (15%) = $4.95. Then, add the tip to the original meal cost to find the total cost of the night: $33 + $4.95 = $37.95.
Question 7: The vehicle dealership's lot has four times as many used cars as new ones. The lot of the dealership has a total of 120 vehicles. On the car dealership lot, how many new cars are there?
- 24 (Correct answer)
- 25
- 26
- 27
Correct answer: 24
Let 'N' represent the number of new cars. Since there are four times as many used cars as new ones, there are 4N used cars. The total number of cars is N + 4N = 5N. Given that the total is 120 vehicles, set up the equation 5N = 120. Solving for N, we get N = 120 / 5 = 24 new cars.
