1. If he left a tip of $36 on a total bill of $200, what percentage of the total bill did he leave as a tip?

• A. 16%
• B. 18%
• C. 20%
• D. 22%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the tip percentage left, divide the tip amount ($36) by the total bill amount ($200), then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: (36/200) x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he left an 18% tip on the total bill amount. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because the correct calculation results in 18%. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (22%) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage based on the provided numbers.

2. How many kilograms are equivalent to 20 pounds?

• A. 9 kilograms
• B. 16 kilograms
• C. 44 kilograms
• D. 3 kilograms

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you need to multiply the number of pounds by 0.4536. Therefore, to find out how many kilograms are in 20 pounds, you would calculate 20 x 0.4536 = 9.072 kilograms, which is approximately 9 kilograms. Choice A is correct. Choice B (16 kilograms), Choice C (44 kilograms), and Choice D (3 kilograms) are all incorrect conversions of pounds to kilograms.

3. Stanton runs 2 miles twice a week and 3 miles once a week. If he runs every week, how many miles does he run in a year?

• A. 185
• B. 260
• C. 330
• D. 364

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate how many miles Stanton runs in a year, we first find out how many miles he runs in a week. Running 2 miles twice a week is 2 x 2 = 4 miles, and running 3 miles once a week is an additional 3 miles. Therefore, in a week, Stanton runs a total of 4 + 3 = 7 miles. To find out how many miles he runs in a year, we multiply the weekly total by the number of weeks in a year (52): 7 miles/week x 52 weeks = 364 miles. Therefore, Stanton runs 364 miles in a year. Choice A (185) is incorrect as it does not account for the total weekly distance correctly. Choice B (260) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total miles run in a year. Choice C (330) is incorrect as it does not calculate the correct total distance covered by Stanton in a year.

4. At a comic book store, Robert purchased three comics for $2.65 each. If he paid with a $20 bill, how much change did he receive?

• A. $12.05
• B. $11.05
• C. $10.00
• D. $13.50

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Robert spent a total of $7.95 on three comics ($2.65 each). When he paid with a $20 bill, the change he received can be calculated by subtracting the total cost from the payment amount: $20 - $7.95 = $12.05. Therefore, Robert received $12.05 in change. Choice B ($11.05) is incorrect because it doesn't reflect the correct calculation. Choice C ($10.00) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total cost of the comics. Choice D ($13.50) is incorrect as it overestimates the change Robert received.

5. Convert this military time to regular time: 1010 hours.

• A. 10:10 A.M.
• B. 10:10 P.M.
• C. 1:01 A.M.
• D. 1:01 P.M.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, we can drop the first two digits if they are less than 12. 1010 hours can be converted to 10:10 A.M. because it is before noon (12:00 P.M.). Military time operates on a 24-hour clock system, with 0000 hours indicating midnight and 1200 hours representing noon. Therefore, in this case, 1010 corresponds to 10:10 A.M. Choice B (10:10 P.M.) is incorrect as 1010 hours is in the morning, not the evening. Choices C (1:01 A.M.) and D (1:01 P.M.) are incorrect as they do not match the given military time of 1010 hours.
