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. How many ounces are in 4 quarts?

• A. 64 ounces
• B. 128 ounces
• C. 32 ounces
• D. 16 ounces

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 128 ounces. There are 32 ounces in a quart, so when you have 4 quarts, you multiply 4 by 32 to get the total number of ounces, which equals 128. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from quarts to ounces.

3. How many milligrams are in 7 grams?

• A. 7000 mg
• B. 7 mg
• C. 700 mg
• D. 70 mg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. So, 1,000 x 7 grams = 7,000 mg. This means that there are 7,000 milligrams in 7 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams.

4. What is 110% of 40?

• A. 60
• B. 50
• C. 55
• D. 44

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 110% of a number, you multiply the number by 1.10. Therefore, 1.10 * 40 = 44. Since 110% of 40 is 44, the correct answer is D. Choice A (60) is the result of finding 150% of 40, not 110%. Choice B (50) is incorrect as it represents 125% of 40. Choice C (55) is not the correct answer as it corresponds to 137.5% of 40.

5. An IV drip delivers 40 drops per minute, each containing 1mg of medication. How many milligrams are administered in 3 hours (180 minutes)?

• A. 360mg
• B. 720mg
• C. 7,200mg
• D. 14,400mg

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this scenario, to find the total amount of medication administered in 3 hours, we first calculate the total drops administered by multiplying the drops per minute by the total minutes. This gives us 40 drops/minute * 180 minutes = 7200 drops. Then, we convert the drops to milligrams by multiplying the total drops by the amount of medication in each drop, which is 1mg. Therefore, 7200 drops * 1mg/drop = 7200mg. The correct answer is 7,200mg. Choice A is incorrect as it miscalculates the total amount. Choice B is incorrect as it doubles the correct answer. Choice D is incorrect as it quadruples the correct answer.
