1. The price dropped from $200 to $150. By what percentage did the price decrease?
- A. 5%
- B. 10%
- C. 20%
- D. 25%
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The difference between the original price ($200) and the new price ($150) is $50. To find the percentage decrease, divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100: ($50 / $200) × 100 = 25%. Therefore, the correct answer is D, meaning the price decreased by 25%. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the percentage decrease in price.
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 table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. What is its perimeter if opposite sides are equal?
- A. 125cm
- B. 150cm
- C. 200cm
- D. 50cm
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: - Given that the table top has dimensions of 75cm by 50cm. - Since opposite sides are equal, the table top can be divided into two pairs of equal sides: 75cm and 50cm. - To find the perimeter, we add up all four sides: 75cm + 50cm + 75cm + 50cm = 250cm. - However, since opposite sides are equal, we only need to consider two sides: 75cm + 50cm = 125cm. - Therefore, the perimeter of the table top is 125cm + 125cm = 150cm. - Hence, the correct answer is B) 150cm.
4. What is the result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6?
- A. 4 5/28
- B. 4 7/8
- C. 5 8/14
- D. 5 3/28
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions and then multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here, 4 7/8 = 39/8 and 1 1/6 = 7/6. Dividing 39/8 by 7/6 gives 39/8 ÷ 7/6 = 39/8 * 6/7 = 234/56 = 4 5/28. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6.
5. Express 0.608 as a percent.
- A. 60.8%
- B. 68%
- C. 0%
- D. 6%
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percentage sign. Therefore, 0.608 as a percent is 60.8%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (68%) is incorrect because it represents the percentage for a different decimal value. Choice C (0%) is incorrect as it represents 0 as a percentage, not 0.608. Choice D (6%) is incorrect as it also represents a different decimal value, not 0.608.
