Kiya had only one coupon for 10% off one frozen turkey breast. The
turkey breast costs $8.50 each, and Kiya wanted to buy two. How much
did she pay?
(a) $16.15
(b) $17.00
(c) $15.30
(d) $7.65 - Correct Answer -A) $16.15
First find the discounted turkey's price ($8.50 × .10 = $0.85, $8.50 -
$0.85 = $7.35) then add another $8.50 because she needs two turkey
breast. $7.35 + $8.50 = $16.15
Your car uses gasoline at a rate of 21 miles per gallon. If gasoline costs
$2.82 per gallon and you drive for 7 hours at a speed of 48 miles per
hour, how much will you pay for gasoline for the trip?
(a) $38.18
(b) $45.12
(c) $47.73
(d) $59.27 - Correct Answer -B) $45.12
First determine the miles traveled d = st (7hr × 48mph = 336 miles),
then divide by the rate per gallon, 21. So now you know you need 16
gallons at $2.82 per gallon to pay for the trip. 16 × $2.82 = $45.12

,If you roll two six-sided dice, what's the probability of not rolling a five
on either die?
(a) ¹/₃₆
(b) ¹/₆
(c) ⁴/₃₆
(d) ²⁵/₃₆ - Correct Answer -D) 25/36
The probability of rolling a 5 is a 1 out of 6 chance, so the probability of
NOT rolling a 5 is 5 out of 6. With two die the probability is ⁵/₆ × ⁵/₆ =
²⁵/₃₆
Jack loaned Bob $1,500 at an annual interest rate of 7%. After one year,
how much will Bob owe Jack?
(a) $105
(b) $1,500
(c) $1,605
(d) $1,507 - Correct Answer -C) $1,605
First find interest then add to the loan. $1,500 × 0.07 = 106, $106 +
$1,500 = 1,605
A 2-ton truck is taxed at a rate of $0.12 per pound. How much is the
total tax bill?
(a) $480
(b) $240
(c) $120
(d) $600 - Correct Answer -A) $480
2,000 pounds to a ton. 4,000 × .12 = 480

,If ab = 10 and a² + b² = 30, solve for y in the equation y = (a+b)².
(a) 40
(b) 45
(c) 50
(d) 55 - Correct Answer -C) 50
First expand the equation (a+b)² or (a+b)(a=b) into y = a² + b² +2ab. You
already know ab = 10 and a² + b² = 30, so substitute the known values
and solve for y. 30 + 2(10) = 50
A half-pint of cream is what part of a gallon?
(a) ¹/₈
(b) ¹/₄
(c) ¹/₁₆
(d) ¹/₆ - Correct Answer -C) 1/16
2 pints in a quart, 4 quarts to a gallon. Therefore 8 pints are to a gallon
or 16 half-pints, ¹/₁₆.
The cost of a protein bar increased from $2.50 to $2.80. The percent
increase to the $2.80 rate was how much?
(a) 16%
(b) 10%
(c) 15%
(d) 12% - Correct Answer -D) 12%
Find the difference then use that number to divide the original cost
$2.50 ÷ $0.30 = 0.12 or 12%

, An aircraft flies over Boondock Air Force Base at 10:20 a.m. At 10:32
a.m., the plane passes over Sea Side Naval Air Station, 120 miles away.
How fast is the aircraft traveling?
(a) 400 mph
(b) 500 mph
(c) 600 mph
(d) 700 mph - Correct Answer -C) 600 mph
The plane traveled 120 miles in 12 minutes or ¹/₅ of an hour. d=st, 120 =
¹/₅x or 120 × 5 = 600 mph
What is the reciprocal of 1/2? - Correct Answer -2/1
Because 1/2 times 2/1 = 1
Solve for x: If the scale on a road map is 1 inch = 250 miles, how many
inches would represent 1,250 miles? - Correct Answer -x = 5, 5 inches =
1,250 miles.
1 inch = 250 miles, x = 1250 miles.
The problem can be expressed as two ratios set equal to each other,
known as proportion:
1/250 = x/1250
I = Prt
Where I = the amount of interest, P = the initial amount invested, r =
interest rate, and t = the length of time the money is invested.
