1. What number is 44 equal to 25% of?
- A. 176
- B. 150
- C. 180
- D. 120
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the number, let it be x. The equation is 44 = 0.25 * x. Dividing both sides by 0.25 gives x = 44 / 0.25 = 176. Therefore, 44 is equal to 25% of 176. Choice A is correct because 176 is the number that 44 is equal to 25% of. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 44 = 0.25 * x.
2. Divide: 5,117 ÷ 31 =
- A. 109 r3
- B. 115 r14
- C. 133 r5
- D. 165 r2
Correct answer: D
Rationale: When dividing 5,117 by 31, the quotient is 165 with a remainder of 2. The correct answer is 165 r2. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct division result. Choice A is close but has the wrong remainder. Choices B and C have incorrect quotients and remainders, making them inaccurate. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 165 r2.
3. Calculate: (88)(7.08) =
- A. 862.5
- B. 88.040
- C. 64.252
- D. 623.04
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the product of 88 and 7.08, simply multiply the two numbers: 88 x 7.08 = 623.04. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of 88 and 7.08.
4. Karen goes to the grocery store with $40. She buys a carton of milk for $1.85, a loaf of bread for $3.20, and a bunch of bananas for $3.05. How much money does she have left?
- A. $30.95
- B. $31.90
- C. $32.10
- D. $34.95
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To determine how much money Karen has left, we first calculate the total cost of the items she bought: $1.85 + $3.20 + $3.05 = $8.10. Subtracting this total cost from the initial amount she had, $40 - $8.10 = $31.90 left. Choice A, $30.95, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct amount left after subtracting the total cost. Choice C, $32.10, is incorrect as it is the total cost of the items she bought, not the amount left. Choice D, $34.95, is incorrect as it does not consider the expenses incurred and subtracted from the initial amount.
5. Solve for x: 120:x::40:0.5.
- A. 1.5
- B. 60
- C. 0.167
- D. 16
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To solve the proportion 120:x::40:0.5, cross-multiply to get 120 * 0.5 = 40 * x. This simplifies to 60 = 40x. Dividing both sides by 40 gives x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (60) is incorrect because x is not equal to 60. Choice C (0.167) is incorrect as it does not result from solving the proportion. Choice D (16) is also incorrect because x is not equal to 16.
