1. A newspaper kiosk sells 10 varieties of newspapers from around the world. The average daily sales for some of the varieties are as follows: English language newspapers sell 25 each day, French language newspapers sell 1 each day, Korean language newspapers sell 16 each day, Japanese language newspapers sell 16 each day, and Russian language newspapers sell 22 each day. How many newspapers are sold each day?

• A. 368 papers
• B. 370 papers
• C. 500 papers
• D. 400 papers

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total number of newspapers sold each day, add the sales for each language: 25 (English) + 1 (French) + 16 (Korean) + 16 (Japanese) + 22 (Russian) = 80. Multiply this by the number of language varieties (10) to get the total number of newspapers sold: 80 x 10 = 800. Therefore, the kiosk sells 800 newspapers each day, not 368 as erroneously stated. The correct answer is 800 papers.

2. Subtract 20.7 - 13.4.

• A. 7.1
• B. 7.5
• C. 7.3
• D. 7.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 7.3. To subtract 13.4 from 20.7, you align the decimal points and subtract each place value: 0.7 - 0.4 = 0.3, and 2 - 1 = 1. Therefore, 20.7 - 13.4 = 7.3. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not provide the accurate result of this subtraction.

3. A store is offering a 25% discount on all items. If an item costs $120, what is the discounted price?

• A. $90
• B. $80
• C. $75
• D. $95

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the discounted price after a 25% discount on $120, you first find the discount amount by multiplying $120 by 0.25, which equals $30. Subtracting the discount amount from the original price gives the discounted price: $120 - $30 = $90. Therefore, the correct answer is $90. Choice B, $80, is incorrect as it does not consider the 25% discount. Choice C, $75, is incorrect as it is lower than the correct calculation. Choice D, $95, is incorrect as it does not reflect the reduction from the discount.

4. What is the area of a rectangular room with a length of 12 meters and a width of 10 meters?

• A. 120 square meters
• B. 130 square meters
• C. 140 square meters
• D. 100 square meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 120 square meters. To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is 12 meters and the width is 10 meters. Therefore, the area of the room is 12m * 10m = 120 square meters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the area of the room based on its dimensions.

5. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains ½ oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?

• A. 10 mL
• B. 15 mL
• C. 20 mL
• D. 25 mL

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, we know that 1 ounce is approximately 30 mL. Therefore, 0.5 ounces would be half of that, which is 15 mL. So, 0.5 oz of perfume is equal to 15 mL. Choice A (10 mL), Choice C (20 mL), and Choice D (25 mL) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from ounces to milliliters.
