1. After spending $75.64 at one store and $22.43 at the next store, how much money does the shopper have left if they started with $100.00?

A. $1.93
B. $5.00
C. $0.72
D. $20.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much money the shopper has left, add the amounts spent: $75.64 + $22.43 = $98.07. Then, subtract the total spent from the starting amount: $100.00 - $98.07 = $1.93 left. Therefore, choice A, $1.93, is the correct answer. Choice B, $5.00, is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C, $0.72, is incorrect as it does not consider the total amount spent. Choice D, $20.13, is incorrect because it does not reflect the remaining amount after the expenses.

2. What percentage of 40 is 8?

A. 20%
B. 15%
C. 10%
D. 25%

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the percentage of 8 in 40, divide 8 by 40 to get 0.2. Multiply this result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.2 × 100 = 10%. Therefore, 8 is 10% of 40, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect percentages calculated from incorrect divisions and multiplications.

3. A worker ships 25 boxes each day. Each box contains 3 shipping labels. The inventory has 500 shipping labels. How many days will it take to use the inventory of shipping labels? Round to the nearest whole.

A. 7 days
B. 8 days
C. 20 days
D. 6 days

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many days it will take to use the 500 shipping labels, multiply the number of labels used per day (25 boxes * 3 labels/box = 75 labels) by the total number of days the inventory will last (500 labels ÷ 75 labels/day = 6.67 days). Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take 7 days to use the inventory of shipping labels. Choice B (8 days) is incorrect because the calculation yields 6.67 days, which rounds down to 6 days, making it an incorrect answer. Choice C (20 days) and Choice D (6 days) are also incorrect as they are not the nearest whole number to the correct answer of 7 days.

4. What is 15% of 95?

A. 14.25
B. 18.5
C. 24.25
D. 28.5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 15% of 95, you multiply 95 by 0.15 (which represents 15% as a decimal). Therefore, 95 * 0.15 = 14.25. The correct answer is A. Choice B, 18.5, is incorrect as it does not represent 15% of 95. Choices C and D, 24.25 and 28.5, are also incorrect calculations for 15% of 95.

5. A train travels at 80 mph for 3 hours. How far did it travel?

A. 240 miles
B. 160 miles
C. 280 miles
D. 320 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled, you multiply the speed of the train (80 mph) by the time it traveled (3 hours): 80 mph × 3 hours = 240 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 240 miles. Choice B (160 miles) is incorrect because it results from multiplying the speed by the incorrect time. Choices C (280 miles) and D (320 miles) are incorrect as they represent calculations that do not match the given speed and time.
