1. Later he spends $20 on bus tokens. How much is left from his original $100?
- A. $49.30
- B. $69.30
- C. $79.30
- D. $89.30
Correct answer: D
Rationale: If he spends $20 on bus tokens from his original $100, then the amount left is $100 - $20 = $80. The remaining 90% of $80 is calculated as $80 + 0.90 * $80 = $80 + $72 = $89.30. Therefore, the correct answer is $89.30. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation of the remaining amount after spending $20.
2. What is the probability of getting a 1 on a six-sided die?
- A. 1/6
- B. 1/4
- C. 1/3
- D. 1/2
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The probability of getting a '1' on a six-sided die is 1 out of 6 possible outcomes, making it a 1/6 probability. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct probability of rolling a '1' on a standard six-sided die.
3. If a party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, how many bottles must she purchase for a party of 145 guests?
- A. 27
- B. 36
- C. 49
- D. 58
Correct answer: D
Rationale: If the party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, for a party of 145 guests, she would need ((2/5) x 145) bottles of sparkling water. This calculation results in 58 bottles. Therefore, she must purchase 58 bottles for the party of 145 guests. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given assumption.
4. How many ounces are in 2.5 quarts?
- A. 64 ounces
- B. 40 ounces
- C. 32 ounces
- D. 80 ounces
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, to find out how many ounces are in 2.5 quarts, you multiply 2.5 by 32, which equals 80 ounces. So, the correct answer is 80 ounces. Choice A (64 ounces) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion. Choice B (40 ounces) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor. Choice C (32 ounces) is incorrect as it provides the conversion for 1 quart only, not for 2.5 quarts.
5. What is the result of adding 6 3/4 + 8 1/6?
- A. 14 & 11/12
- B. 12 & 3/24
- C. 35/6
- D. 14 & 2/5
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions. 6 3/4 = 27/4 and 8 1/6 = 49/6. Finding a common denominator, we get 27/4 + 49/6 = 81/12 + 98/12 = 179/12 = 14 & 11/12. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it does not simplify to the correct result. Choice C is in fraction form and not in mixed number form, making it incorrect. Choice D is not the correct sum of the given mixed numbers, so it is also incorrect.
