A doctor earns $980.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $85.00 federal income tax, $40.00 state income tax, and $81.00 Social Security tax. How much will the doctor make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
A. $3,096.00
B. $3,00.00
C. $3,00.00
D. $3,200.00
We are required to find the doctor’s earning in 4 weeks after taking off taxes.
The first step is to find the total weekly deductions as follows:
Total weekly tax=federal income tax + state income tax + Social Security tax
Total weekly tax=$(85.00+40.00+81.00)
Total tax=$206.00
The next step is to find the weekly income after deducting total taxes
Weekly net income=gross income-total tax
Weekly net income=$(980.00-206.00)=$774.00
In one week, the net income of the doctor is $774.00 and after 4 weeks, the net income will be 4 times his weekly earning
Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

Q #2: One gallon of cleaning solution requires 10 oz of ammonia. If the maintenance department needs 51 gallons of solution to clean all of the floors, how much ammonia is needed?
A. 510 gallons
B. 51 gallons
C. 510 oz
D. 51 oz
Answer Explanation
We use given information to find how much ammonia is need to make the specified solution.
We are told, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 10 oz of ammonia. Expressing this mathematically yields two options:
\(\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\) or \(\frac{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}\)
Now we find how much ammonia is needed using option two.
\(51\ gallon\ of\ solution\ *\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\ =\ 510\ oz\ of\ ammonia\)
From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.
Therefore, the solution will require 510 oz of ammonia.

Q #4: A recipe calls for 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?
A. 6.33 mL
B. 12.325 mL
C. 7.395 mL
D. 0.797 mL
Answer Explanation
We are asked to find mL equivalent in 1.5 teaspoons. To carry out the operations, we utilize dimensional analysis to solve this problem as follows.
Converting between teaspoon and mL uses the following conversions:
Or
Since we want to remain with mL, use the second option and proceed as follows.
Thus, 1.5 teaspoons is equal to 7.395 mL

Q #5: A large pizza has a diameter of 12 inches. Which of the following is the area of the pizza in terms of pi ()?
A. 24 πi n2
B. 48 π in2
C. 18π in2
D. 36 π in2
Answer Explanation
Before finding the area of the pizza, we need to find the radius of the pizza.
Find radius of the pizza in terms of diameter
Next, find area of the pizza using the radius of 6 inches
Substituting r=6 in the equation of the area of a circle
Thus, the pizza has an area of 36 π in2.

Q #6: A circle has an area of 9 (pi) in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi ((pi))?
A. 12 π in
B. 6 π in
C. 9 π in
D. 3 π in
Answer Explanation
We need to find the radius of the circle from the given value of area. Then, the radius of the circle will be used to find the circumference of the circle.
The first step is to find the radius, r of the circle as
Thus, the circumference of a circle whose area is \(9\pi\ in\ ^2\)is 6 in.

Q #7: Which of the following is the greatest value?
A. 74÷95
B. 7/8
C. 0.72
D. 74%
Answer Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to have all options in fraction form.
74 95 =
7/8 = 3/8
0.72 = 72/100
74% = 74/100
Now, find the least common denominator of 95, 8, and 100. The least common denominator is 3800, which we multiply by each fraction as follows:
74/95*3800=2960
7/8*3800=3325
72/100*3800=2736
74/100*3800=2812
We can see that the fraction 7/8 is the greatest among the given options.

Q #8: Which of the following values is the greatest?
A. 7/3
B. 5.2
C. 13/3
D. 5.15
Answer Explanation
The initial step is to convert the decimal numbers into fractions.
5.2 becomes 52/10
5.15 becomes 515/100
Next, find the least common denominator of 3, 10, and 100, which is 300. We use this value and multiply each fraction.
7/3*300=700
52/10*300=1560
13/3*300=1300
515/100*300=1545
From the above, 1560 is the greatest value which corresponds to 52/10. Thus, 5.2 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

Q #9: Which of the following relationships represents a negative correlation between two variables?
A. As a student’s class attendance decreases, the student’s overall grade remains the same
B. As the number of hours a person exercises decreases, the weight of that person remains unchanged
C. As the number of miles driven increases, the amount of the gasoline in the tank decreases
D. As the amount of water plant receives increases, the growth rate of the plant increase.
Answer Explanation
Correlation of two variables falls into:
Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase
Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease
No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.
From the given choices
Option a is no correlation
Option b is a no correlation
Option c is a negative correlation
Option d is a positive correlation
