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
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?
