Lana has $60. She spends 80% of the money. She then invests the remaining amount and earns a profit of 80%. How much money does she now have?
A. $21.60
B. $86.40
C. $9.60
D. $60
we are needed to find the amount Lana is left with after spending and investing the rest using the given information.
Amount Lana spends = 80% of $60= 80/100 * 60 = $48
Amount left to invest = $(60-48) = $12
Lana is left with $12, which she invests and earns a profit of 80%.
Profit earned = 80% of $12 = 80/100 * 12 = $9.20
So, Lana will have $12 + $9.20 = $21.60
Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

Q #1: The graph below represents the amount of rainfall in a particular state by month. Which of the following is the total rainfall for the first 3 months of the year?
A. 4 inches
B. 5 inches
C. 4.5 inches
D. 3.5 inches
Answer Explanation
The first three months of the year are January, February, and March. We need to find the total rainfall for these three months from the provided graph.
In the month of January, rainfall is between o and 1, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in January is 0.5 inches
On February, rainfall was 1 inch and on March the rainfall was 2 inches. Thus,
Total rainfall = 0.5 inches + 1 inches + 2 inches = 3.5 inches

Q #4: Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats half of the pizza. The other three friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza did each of the other three friends receive?
A. 1/6
B. 1/3
C. ¼
D. 1/5
Answer Explanation
we are needed to find the portion of pizza shared by 3 three friends. We treat the whole pizza as 1. Now, 1 friend eats half of the whole pizza. Thus,
One friend=1/2 of 1=1/2*1=1/2
Remaining amount=1-1/2=2/2-1/2=1/2
Thus, ½ of pizza is left for three friends to share among themselves. Then, each friend will get
So, the other three friends will each get 1/6 of the pizza.

Q #5: A student performs the following estimations. 24+190≈210 151+319≈470 974+1022≈1990 Based on these estimations, which of the following is the student’s estimate of 452+5017?
A. 5470
B. 5500
C. 5400
D. 5450
Answer Explanation
from the given estimations, we can find the actual addition of the numbers and see a trend the student utilizes to find their estimates. The exact sum is as follows
24+190=214
151+319=470
974+1022=1996
From the above evaluation, we can clearly see the students approximates the value in the ones values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 452+5017.
452+5017=5469
We can approximate 5469 based on the provided choices to 5470.

Q #6: A recipe calls for 2.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?
A. 5.33 mL
B. 12.325 mL
C. 7.43 mL
D. 0.507 mL

Q #7: Which of the following is the weight of the cargo in a truck if 1/3 of the cargo weighs 516 pounds (lb)?
A. 172 lb
B. 1032 lb
C. 1548 lb
D. 688 lb
Answer Explanation
In this problem, we assume the truck carries a whole cargo. Thus, total weight is 516 lb divided by 1/3. Thus,
We change the division sign to product and multiply 516 by reciprocal of 1/3. Then,
The weight of the cargo will be 1548 lbs.

Q #8: If a box of 35 syringes costs $560.00, which of the following is the cost of two syringes?
A. $15.00
B. $16.00
C. $32.00

Cross-multiply to solve for x
Rearranging the above
Divide both sides by 35
The cost of 2 syringes is $32.
