1. If a box of 55 syringes costs $660.00, what is the cost of four syringes?

• A. $51.00
• B. $26.00
• C. $32.00
• D. $48.00

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the cost of one syringe, divide the total cost by the number of syringes: $660.00 ÷ 55 = $12. Therefore, the cost of four syringes is 4 x $12 = $48. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the cost per syringe or the total cost of four syringes.

2. Veronica decided to celebrate her promotion by purchasing a new car. The base price for the car was $40,210. She paid an additional $3,015 for a surround sound system and $5,218 for a maintenance package. What was the total price of Veronica's new car?

• A. $50,210
• B. $48,443
• C. $43,225
• D. $40,210

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total cost of Veronica's new car, you need to sum up all her expenses. So, $40,210 (base price) + $3,015 (surround sound system) + $5,218 (maintenance package) = $48,443. Therefore, the correct answer is $48,443. Choice A ($50,210) is incorrect as it incorrectly adds the base price to the other costs. Choice C ($43,225) is incorrect as it only includes the base price and the maintenance package, omitting the cost of the surround sound system. Choice D ($40,210) is incorrect as it only includes the base price of the car and not the additional costs for the surround sound system and maintenance package.

3. Veronica paid an additional $3,015 for a surround sound system and $5,218 for a maintenance package. What was the total price of her new car?

• A. $50,210
• B. $48,443
• C. $43,225
• D. $40,210

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the total price of Veronica's new car, you must sum the original price of the car with the additional costs. Veronica paid $3,015 for the surround sound system and $5,218 for the maintenance package, totaling $3,015 + $5,218 = $8,233 in additional costs. Adding this to the original price of the car, $40,210, gives $40,210 + $8,233 = $48,443. Therefore, the total price of Veronica's new car is $48,443. Choice A, $50,210, is incorrect as it does not factor in the correct additional costs. Choice C, $43,225, is incorrect because it does not include the additional costs. Choice D, $40,210, is incorrect as it only represents the original price of the car without the added expenses.

4. A recipe calls for 2.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?

• A. 5.33 mL
• B. 7.43 mL
• C. 12.325 mL
• D. 0.507 mL

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert 2.5 teaspoons of vanilla to milliliters, you multiply by the conversion factor: 2.5 teaspoons * 4.93 mL = 12.325 mL. Therefore, the correct amount of vanilla in milliliters is 12.325 mL. Choice A (5.33 mL) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice B (7.43 mL) is incorrect as it also does not use the accurate conversion factor. Choice D (0.507 mL) is incorrect as it represents a miscalculation of the conversion.

5. If (D) is the distance traveled and (R) is the rate of travel, which of the following represents the relationship between D and R for the equation D=2R?

• A. D is twice as much as R
• B. R is twice as much as D
• C. R is two times D
• D. D is two more than R

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The equation D=2R means that D equals 2 times R, which translates to D being twice the value of R. Therefore, choice A, 'D is twice as much as R,' is the correct representation of the relationship between D and R. Choice B, 'R is twice as much as D,' incorrectly reverses the roles of D and R. Choice C, 'R is two times D,' incorrectly states the relationship between R and D. Choice D, 'D is two more than R,' does not accurately reflect the relationship presented in the equation.
