,John bought a camera on sale that normally costs $160. If the price was reduced
20% during the sale, what was the sale price of the camera?
(a)$120
(b) $124
(c)$128
(d) $140
(c) $128
This question asks you to determine the sale price of a camera that normally
sells at $160 and is discounted 20%. To solve, determine what 20% of $160
equals. Rewrite 20% as a decimal.
20% = 0.20. So 20% of $160 = 0.20 x $160 = $32.
The sale price of the camera would be $160 - $32 = $128, choice (c)
,A subway car passes 3 stations every 10 minutes. At this rate, how many
stations will it pass in one hour?
(a) 15
(b) 18
(c) 20
(d) 30
(b) 18
First, set up the rate as a proportion, where (x) is the number of
stations. 3 stations/10 minutes = (x) stations/1 hour
Then, convert the units.
3 stations/10 minutes = (x) stations/60
minutes Cross multiply and solve for (x).
180 = 10(x)
18 = (x)
, On a certain map, 3/4 inch represents one mile. What distance, in miles, is
presented by 1 3/4 inches?
(a)1 1/2
(b) 2 1/3
(c) 2 1/2
(d)5 1/4
(b) 2 1/3
In this question, the ratio is implied: for every 3/4 inch of map there is 1 real
mile, so the ratio of inches to the miles they represent is always 3/4 to 1.
Therefore, you can set up the proportion:
number of inches/ number of miles = 3/
= 3/4 Now 1 3/4 inches = 7/4 inches.
Set up a proportion:
7/4 inches
7/4 inches / number of miles
= 3/4 Cross-multiply:
7/4(4) = 3 (number of
miles) 7= 3(number of
miles)
7/3 = number of miles or 2 1/3 = number of miles
