Question 1
Evaluate the following arithmetic expression:
\(\frac{3}{4} \div \left( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3} \right)\)
,A) \(\frac{9}{14}\)
B) \(\frac{7}{8}\)
C) \(\frac{5}{6}\)
D) \(\frac{9}{8}\)
Answer: A) \(\frac{9}{14}\)
Rationale: First, find a common denominator to add the fractions inside the
parentheses. The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, transforming the
expression into \(\frac{3}{6} + \frac{4}{6} = \frac{7}{6}\). Next, perform the division
by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second: \(\frac{3}{4} \times
\frac{6}{7} = \frac{18}{28}\). Reducing the fraction to its lowest terms by dividing
the numerator and denominator by 2 yields the final simplified value of
\(\frac{9}{14}\).
Question 2
A retail store applies a 20% clearance discount to a winter jacket originally priced at
$120. If a customer uses a promotional coupon to save an additional 10% off the
discounted clearance price, what is the final pre-tax price of the jacket?
A) $84.00
B) $86.40
C) $90.00
D) $96.00
Answer: B) $86.40
Rationale: First, calculate the clearance price of the jacket by applying the 20%
discount, which means the customer pays 80% of the original cost: $120 × 0.80 =
$96 . Next, apply the secondary 10% promotional coupon to this adjusted price,
meaning the customer pays 90% of the clearance price: $96 × 0.90 = $86.40 . Note
that sequential discounts cannot be added together linearly (20% + 10% = 30% of
$120 would incorrectly equal $84).
Question 3
Solve the following linear equation for the variable x :
4(x - 3) + 7 = 2x - 9
,A) x = -2
B) x = 5
C) x = -5
D) x = 2
_Answer: C) x = -5 _
Rationale: First, expand the left side of the equation by distributing the 4 across
the parentheses: 4x - 12 + 7 = 2x - 9 . Combine the constant terms on the left side
to simplify the equation to 4x - 5 = 2x - 9 . Next, isolate the variable terms by
subtracting 2x from both sides, yielding 2x - 5 = -9 . Add 5 to both sides to get 2x
= -4 , and divide by 2 to find the final value: x = -5 .
Question 4
Which of the following coordinates represents the exact y-intercept of the linear
equation moving through the two dimensional plane defined by:
3x - 5y = 15
A) (5, 0)
B) (0, 3)
C) (0, -3)
D) (-5, 0)
_Answer: C) (0, -3) _
Rationale: To isolate the y-intercept of any linear equation, substitute x = 0 into
the algebraic expression, as the intercept must sit directly along the vertical y-
axis. This removes the first term, leaving the expression 3(0) - 5y = 15 , which
simplifies down to -5y = 15 . Dividing both sides by -5 isolates the coordinate
value of y = -3 . Expressing this location as an ordered pair gives the final
coordinate set of (0, -3) .
Question 5
Completely factor the following quadratic polynomial expression:
x² - 7x + 12
A) (x - 6)(x - 2)
B) (x + 4)(x + 3)
, C) (x - 4)(x - 3)
D) (x - 12)(x - 1)
_Answer: C) (x - 4)(x - 3) _
Rationale: To factor a quadratic trinomial of the form x² + bx + c where the leading
coefficient is 1, isolate two integers whose product equals the constant term c
(+12) and whose sum equals the middle coefficient b (-7). Analyzing the factors of
12 reveals that the negative pair -4 and -3 satisfies both mathematical constraints
simultaneously because (-4) × (-3) = 12 and (-4) + (-3) = -7 . Writing these as linear
binomial factors gives the final solution (x - 4)(x - 3) .

Question 6
A cylindrical water tank has a base radius of 3 meters and a height of 5 meters. What is
the approximate volume of the water tank in cubic meters? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
A) 47.1 cubic meters
B) 141.3 cubic meters
C) 282.6 cubic meters
D) 70.7 cubic meters
Answer: B) 141.3 cubic meters
Rationale: The geometric formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is V = π
r² h, where r represents the base radius and h represents the structural height.
Substituting the given dimensions into the algebraic formula yields V = 3.14 × (3)²
× 5. Simplifying the calculation gives V = 3.14 × 9 × 5 = 3.14 × 45 = 141.3 cubic
meters.
