1. A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?

A. $2,250.00
B. $2,550.00
C. $2,400.00
D. $2,232.00

Correct answer: D

Rationale: After deducting $172 weekly for taxes ($72 + $35 + $65), the teacher's net weekly income is $558. Over 4 weeks, the total income is $2,232.00. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for the taxes deducted. Choice B is incorrect as it overestimates the income by not deducting the taxes. Choice C is incorrect as it also does not consider the tax deductions.

2. What is the range in the number of houses sold per year?

A. 20
B. 25
C. 29
D. 35

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The range in the number of houses sold per year is calculated by subtracting the minimum number of houses sold from the maximum number of houses sold. In this case, the range is 42 (maximum) - 11 (minimum) = 31, not 29 as stated in the original rationale. Therefore, choice C (29) is incorrect. Choices A (20), B (25), and D (35) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct range of houses sold per year, which is 31.

3. How do you convert yards to feet, and feet to yards?

A. Multiply yards by 3 to get feet; divide feet by 3 to get yards
B. Multiply yards by 2 to get feet; divide feet by 2 to get yards
C. Multiply yards by 1.5 to get feet; divide feet by 1.5 to get yards
D. Multiply yards by 4 to get feet; divide feet by 4 to get yards

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you need to know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, to convert yards to feet, you multiply the number of yards by 3. To convert feet to yards, you divide the number of feet by 3. Choice A correctly states that you should multiply yards by 3 to get feet and divide feet by 3 to get yards. Choices B, C, and D provide incorrect conversion factors, leading to inaccurate results.

4. Solve this equation: 2x+8=0

A. -4
B. 3
C. 5
D. 0

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve 2 𝑥 + 8 = 0 2x+8=0: Subtract 8 from both sides: 2 𝑥 = − 8 2x=−8 Divide both sides by 2: 𝑥 = − 8 2 = − 4 x= 2 −8 =−4 Therefore, the solution is 𝑥 = − 4 x=−4.

5. What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and a height of 7 cm?

A. 70 cm²
B. 35 cm²
C. 140 cm²
D. 100 cm²

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the area of a triangle, you use the formula A = 1/2 × base × height. Substituting the given values: A = 1/2 × 10 cm × 7 cm = 35 cm². Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (70 cm²) is incorrect as it seems to be the product of the base and height rather than the area formula. Choice C (140 cm²) is incorrect as it appears to be twice the correct answer, possibly a result of a miscalculation. Choice D (100 cm²) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given base and height values.
