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 $160 (1-.20) = 160(.8) = 128 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 3 stations/10 minutes = (x) stations/60 minutes Cross multiply and solve for (x). 180 = 10(x) so 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 (3/4 )/1 = 7/4 inches / x number of miles Cross-multiply: 7/4(1) = 3/4 (x number of miles) Multiply both sides by 4 : 7 = 3x x = 7/3 = 2 1/3 A certain box contains baseballs and golf balls. If the ratio of baseballs to golf balls is 2:3 and there are 30 baseballs in the box, how many golf balls are in the box? (a) 18 (b) 20 (c) 36 (d) 45 (d) 45 Express the ratio of baseballs to golf balls as 2/3. 2/3 = 30/ (x number of golf balls) cross-multiply to get 2(x) = 90, or x = 45. Four people shared a taxi to the airport. The fare was $36.00, and they gave the driver a tip equal to 25% of the fare. If they equally shared the cost of the fare and tip, how much did each person pay? (a) $9.75 (b) $10.25 (c) $10.75 (d) $11.25 (d) $11.25 Total cost of the taxi ride equals $36(1 + .25)= $45. If four people split the cost equally, then each person paid $45/4, or $11.25 each. If a car travels 1/100 of a kilometer each second, how many kilometers does it travel in an hour? (a) 36 (b) 60 (c) 72 (d) 100 (a) 36 There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minute in one hour; therefore, there are 60 x 60, or 3,600, seconds in an hour. In one second the car travels 1/100 kilometers; in one hour the car will travel 3,600 x 1/100 or 36 kilometers. Ms. Smith drove a total of 700 miles on a business trip. If her car averaged 35 miles per gallon of gasoline and gasoline cost $1.25 per gallon, what was the cost in dollars of the gasoline for the trip? (a) $20.00 (b) $ 24.00 (c) $ 25.00 (d)
