1. Yesterday, a waiter received $74 in tips. Today he received 125% of what he made
yesterday. Which of the following is the amount of money the waiter received in tips
today?
A) $18.50
B) $59.20
C) $83.25
D) $92.50: $92.50 (to determine the days total, take yesterdays total ($74) and multiply
by the numerical equivalent of 125% (1.25). The total is $92.50)
2. A recipe calls for 5 cups of flour, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, and 1/3 cup of cocoa. Which of the
following is the amount of dry ingredients in this recipe?
A) 5 1/6 cups
B) 6 1/6 cups
C) 6 5/6 cups
D) 7 1/6 cups: 6 5/6 cups (the first step when adding fractions is to determine the least
common denominator for the fractions. This leads to the following expression: 5+1 3/6 + 2/6.
The sum of this is 6 5/6.
3. A computer is worth $1,500 at the time of purchase. After 5 years, the com- puter is
