Q #3: 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 respiratory care 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 respiratory care program, we can set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator.
Find the value of x by cross-products
Divide both sides of the equation by 100%
Thus, 171 students out of 900 students will enroll for a respiratory care program.

Q #7: 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.
