• A. $426.36
• B. $426.37
• C. $363.20
• D. $526.38

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate 54% of $789.56, you multiply 0.54 by 789.56, which equals $426.36. Therefore, choice A, $426.36, is the correct answer. Choice B, $426.37, is incorrect as it is a slightly higher value. Choice C, $363.20, is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct answer. Choice D, $526.38, is incorrect as it is higher than the correct calculation result.

2. If a person consumes 500 calories per meal, how many calories will they consume in 3 meals?

• A. 1000 calories
• B. 1500 calories
• C. 2000 calories
• D. 500 calories

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total calories consumed in 3 meals, you multiply the number of meals by the calories per meal: 3 meals x 500 calories/meal = 1500 calories. Therefore, the correct answer is 1500 calories. Choice A (1000 calories) is incorrect because it miscalculates the total calories. Choice C (2000 calories) is incorrect as it overestimates the total calories. Choice D (500 calories) is incorrect as it represents the calories consumed in a single meal, not in 3 meals.

3. A farmer buys 3 bags of feed weighing 50 kilograms each. How much feed does he have in total?

• A. 100 kilograms
• B. 150 kilograms
• C. 200 kilograms
• D. 250 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 150 kilograms. To find the total amount of feed, you need to multiply the number of bags by the weight of each bag. In this case, 3 bags * 50 kilograms each = 150 kilograms. Therefore, the farmer has a total of 150 kilograms of feed. Choice A (100 kilograms) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the total weight of all 3 bags. Choice C (200 kilograms) and Choice D (250 kilograms) are incorrect as they are miscalculations of the total weight of the feed.

4. Multiply: 15 × 52 =

• A. 0.0078
• B. 0.078
• C. 0.78
• D. 7.8

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 15 and 52, you simply multiply them together: 15 x 52 = 780. Therefore, the correct answer is 7.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they represent fractions or decimals much smaller than the correct product of 780.

5. At the fair, Serena sold 6 fewer balloons than Tommy, who sold 2 more balloons than Uri. If Uri sold 28 balloons, how many did Serena sell?

• A. 20
• B. 22
• C. 24
• D. 32

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If Uri sold 28 balloons, Tommy sold 28 + 2 = 30 balloons. Since Serena sold 6 fewer balloons than Tommy, she sold 30 - 6 = 24 balloons. Therefore, Serena sold 24 balloons. Choice A, 20 balloons, is incorrect because it doesn't consider the difference in sales between Serena and Tommy. Choice B, 22 balloons, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the correct relation between Tommy and Serena's sales. Choice D, 32 balloons, is incorrect as it doesn't align with the given information about the sales differences.
