  • Q #2: A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $28.40. They wish to leave a 10% tip. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?

    A. $4.00

    B. $6.00

    C. $2.50

    D. $3.00

    Answer Explanation

    When solving percent problems, the following words and their meaning becomes handy.

    • Is means equals
    • Of means multiply
    • What means unknown (variable)

    If we let x represent the amount of tip the couple want to leave behind, then

     

     

    So, the couple will leave a tip of $2.84, which is about $3.00

     

  • Q #3: Three friends are sharing a burger. One friend eats a quarter of the burger. The other two friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the burger did each of the other two friends receive?  

    A. 1/6

    B. 1/4

    C. 3/4

    D. 3/8

    Answer Explanation

    : we are needed to find the portion of burger the two other friends share between themselves. A whole burger is 1, and we know that,

    One friend=1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

    Remaining amount=1-1/4=4/4-1/4=3/4

    Thus, ¾ of burger is left for two friends to share among themselves. Then, each friend will get

    So, the other two friends will each get 3/8 of the burger.

  • Q #4: A recipe calls for 5.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?

    A. 10.2 mL

    B. 12 mL

    C. 7.43 mL

    D. 27 mL

    Answer Explanation

    We need to find how many mL are in 5.5 teaspoons. We are told that 1 teaspoon is about 4.93 mL, which we interpret as follows:

               

    Or

             

    Since we are looking for mL, we use the second option.

             

    Thus, 5.5 teaspoons can hold approximately 27 mL.

  • Q #5: A student performs the following estimations. 35+192  230 258+350  610 947+1032  1980 Based on these estimations, which of the following is the student’s estimate of 694+7618?

    A. 8320

    B. 8500

    C. 8300

    D. 8310

    Answer Explanation

    Here we need to find the actual values of the additions and see the trend the student will use to estimate the given problem. The exact sum is as follows

    35+192=227

    258+350=608

    947+1032=1979

    From the above calculations, it is evident that the student rounds up or down the ones place values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 694+7618.

    694+7618=8312

    We can approximate 8312 based on the provided choices is 8310.

  • Q #6: Which of the following is the greatest value?

    A. 43÷55

    B. 5/7

    C. 0.729

    D. 73%

    Answer Explanation

    we are asked to find the largest value from the options given. To solve this problem, we need to convert all the given values into fraction. Then find the least common denominator for all fractions, which we will use to multiply each fraction and make a comparison.

    43÷55=43/55

    5/7

    0.729=729/1000

    73%=73/100

    Now, we need to find the least common denominator of 55, 7, 1000, and 100, which is 77000. We multiply each fraction by 77000 as follows:

    43/55*77000=60200

    5/7*77000=55000

    729/1000*77000=56133

    73/100*77000=56210

     

    From the calculated values, it can be noted that 43/55 is the greatest value among the given options.

  • Q #8: Which of the following statements is true about the graph?  

    A. The Chargers points per game decreased between seasons seven times between 1996 and 2015

    B. The Chargers scored their lowest number of points per game in 2003-04 season

    C. The Chargers scored their greatest number of points per game in the 2006-07 season

    D. The Chargers points remained unchanged in the seasons 2012-13 and 2013-14.

    Answer Explanation

    Looking at the give curve, we analyze each statement as:

    • For statement 1: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is false.
    • For statement 2: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season and not in 2003-04 season. So, the statement is false.
    • For statement 3: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game. So, this statement is false.
    • For statement 4: the two season which no change in the points were 2012-13 and 2013-14. So this is true according to given curve.

  • Q #9: How many feet are in 9 yards?

    A. 45 ft

    B. 18 ft

    C. 36 ft

    D. 27 ft

    Answer Explanation

    The interconversion of yards to feet utilizes the relationship 1 yard =3 feet. Then, 9 yards to ft becomes

                                            t

    There, 9 yards is equal to 27 ft.

  • Q #10: Which of the following relationships represents a no 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 increases

    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 negative correlation

    Option c is a negative correlation

    Option d is a positive correlation

    Thus, the correct statement is a.
