A bag contains five green balls, four red balls, and three yellow balls. If one ball is randomly selected from the ball, which of the following is the probability that the ball is green?
A. 5/12
B. ¼
C. ½
D. 1/3
The probability of an event is given by
To find the probability of drawing a green ball, we need to find the total number of balls in the bag.
Total number of balls in the bag=5+4+3=12 balls
The probability of drawing a green ball from the bag is 5/12.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

Q #2: A person weighed themselves at 120 lb. Three months later they weighed themselves at 160 lb. Which of the following is the percent of weight the person gained over 3 months? (Round to the nearest percent.)
A. 66%
B. 33%
C. 35%
D. 30%
Answer Explanation
We need to find the percent change in weight of a person. To find the percent change, follow the following steps:
- Find absolute change in weight
- Find relative change
- Find the percent change from relative change.
Absolute change is the difference between the final value and initial value. Our initial value is 120 lb and final value is 160 lb. Then,
Relative change is given by
Percent change is determined by
To the nearest whole number, the percent change is 33%.

Q #3: A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are four as many quarters as pennies, three times as many as nickels as pennies, and five times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than pennies?
A. 5 times as many
B. 10 times as many
C. 20 times as many
D. 15 times as many
Answer Explanation
Explanation:
In this question, we need to find the ratio of dimes to quarters.
If we let x be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 4x
Number of nickels in the bottle = 3x
Number of dimes in the bottle =5(3x)=15x
Now relating dimes to quarters, we have
Thus, there are 15 times as many dimes as pennies in the box.

Q #10: There are 900 students enrolled in four allied health programs at a local community college. The percent students in each program are displayed in the pie chart. Which of the following is the number of students enrolled in the Radiologic Technology program?
A. 162
B. 171
C. 378
D. 189
Answer Explanation
We use the percentages and number of students to find the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program as in the pie chart. The total percent of the whole piec chart sums to 100%.
If we let x represent the number of students enrolled in the Radiologic Technology program, we can set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator.
\(\frac{x}{21\%}\ =\ \frac{900}{100\%} \)
Find the value of x by cross-products
\(x\ *\ 100\%\ =\ 900\ students * 21\%\)
Divide both sides of the equation by 100%
\(x= \frac{900\ students\ *\ 21\%}{100\%}\ =\ 189\ students\)
Thus, 189 students out of 900 students will enroll for a respiratory care program.
