1. Margery plans a vacation with costs for airfare, hotel (5 nights), sightseeing, and meals. If she receives a 10% discount on additional hotel nights, what will she spend?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate Margery's total cost, we first need to find the cost without the discount. Let's say the original cost is x. With a 10% discount, she saves 10% of the cost of additional hotel nights. Since she is staying for 5 nights, the discount applies to 4 additional nights (5 - 1 night already included). Therefore, she saves 10% of 4 nights' cost. If x is the cost of 1 night, the total cost without discount is 5x. With the 10% discount, she saves 0.1 * 4x = 0.4x. So, the cost after discount is 5x - 0.4x = 4.6x. Given that the total cost is 5x for 5 nights, we can equate 5x to 4.6x to find x. Solving for x, we get x = Total cost / 5 = 5x / 5 = 4.6x / 5. Therefore, x = 4.6x / 5, which simplifies to x = 0.92 * 5x. This means 1 night's cost is 0.92 times the total cost for 5 nights. Given the total cost is $1328.35, we find the cost for 1 night is $1328.35 / 5 = $265.67. So, Margery will spend $1328.35 for her vacation.

2. What is 15% of 200?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 15% of 200, you multiply 0.15 by 200, which equals 30. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (20) is incorrect because it represents 10% of 200. Choice C (25) is incorrect as it does not accurately represent 15% of 200. Choice D (40) is incorrect as it represents 20% of 200.

3. Complete the following equation: 5 + 3 × 4 - 6 / 2 = ?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve this equation, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): First, perform multiplication and division from left to right. 3 × 4 equals 12, and 6 / 2 equals 3. Then, carry out addition and subtraction from left to right. 5 + 12 - 3 equals 14, not 9. Therefore, the correct answer is 14, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D can be eliminated as they do not match the correct result obtained by following the order of operations.

4. As part of a study, a set of patients will be divided into three groups. 4/15 of the patients will be in Group Alpha, 2/5 in Group Beta, and 1/3 in Group Gamma. Order the groups from smallest to largest, according to the number of patients in each group.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct order is Group Alpha, Group Gamma, Group Beta based on the common denominators of the fractions. To determine the order from smallest to largest, compare the fractions' numerators since the denominators are different. Group Alpha has 4/15 patients, Group Gamma has 1/3 patients, and Group Beta has 2/5 patients. Comparing the fractions' numerators, the order from smallest to largest is Group Alpha (4), Group Gamma (1), and Group Beta (2). Therefore, the correct order is Group Alpha, Group Gamma, Group Beta. Choice A is incorrect as it lists Group Beta before Group Gamma. Choice C is incorrect as it lists Group Gamma before Group Alpha. Choice D is incorrect as it lists Group Beta before Group Gamma, which is not in ascending order based on the number of patients.

5. What percentage of the total rainfall in this timeframe occurs during October?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage of rainfall that occurs during October, divide October's rainfall (4.5 inches) by the total rainfall (29.38 inches) and multiply by 100. So, (4.5 / 29.38) * 100 = 15.31%. Among the choices given, option B, 0.151, is the closest to this calculated percentage. Options A, C, and D are not correct as they do not match the accurate calculation based on the provided data.
