1. There are 800 students enrolled in four allied health programs at a local community college. The percentage of students in each program is displayed in the pie chart. What is the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program?

• A. 336
• B. 152
• C. 144
• D. 168

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program, you need to calculate 19% of 800. 19% of 800 is (19/100) * 800 = 152 students. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (336), Choice C (144), and Choice D (168) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct percentage of students enrolled in the respiratory care program as indicated by the pie chart.

2. Solve for x in the equation above: (x/y) - z = rw

• A. X = y(z + rw)
• B. X = rw(y - z)
• C. X = rwy + z
• D. X = rwy - z

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve for x, first, isolate x by moving the term involving x to one side of the equation. Begin by adding z to both sides of the equation to get (x/y) = rw + z. Then, multiply both sides by y to get x = y(rw + z), which simplifies to x = y(z + rw). Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly rearrange the terms in the equation to solve for x.

3. What is 4 + 5 + 12 + 9?

• A. 20
• B. 30
• C. 40
• D. 50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 30. To find the sum, you need to add 4 + 5 + 12 + 9, which equals 30. Choice A (20) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct addition of the numbers provided. Choice C (40) is incorrect as it represents the sum of the numbers incorrectly. Choice D (50) is also incorrect as it is not the sum of the given numbers.

4. How do you find the factors of a number?

• A. Divide the number by all possible numbers
• B. Find all pairs of numbers that multiply to give the number
• C. List all the multiples of the number
• D. Add the digits of the number together

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct way to find the factors of a number is to identify all pairs of numbers that, when multiplied together, result in the given number. This method allows you to determine all the factors of the number. Choice A is incorrect because dividing the number by all possible numbers is not an efficient way to find its factors. Choice C is incorrect as listing all the multiples of the number does not give the factors. Choice D is unrelated to finding factors as adding the digits of a number together does not provide information about its factors.

5. Approximately by what percentage are there more female staff members in City Y compared to City X?

• A. 5%
• B. 10%
• C. 15%
• D. 20%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the percentage difference in female staff members between City Y and City X, you subtract the percentage of female staff members in City X from the percentage in City Y. So, 60% (City Y) - 40% (City X) = 20%. This means there are 20% more female staff members in City Y compared to City X. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect percentages and do not accurately represent the 20% difference between the two cities.
