A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are four as many quarters as pennies, two times as many as nickels as pennies, and seven times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than nickels?
A. 7 times as many
B. 5 times as many
C. 2 times as many
D. 10 times as many
This problem asks us to compare the number of dimes to nickels.
If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 4p
Number of nickels in the bottle = 2p
Number of dimes in the bottle =7(2p)=14p
To find the number of dimes the child has than nickels, we use the ratio:
\(\frac{Dimes}{nickels} =\frac {14p}{2p}\ =\ 7\)
Thus, there are 7 times as many dimes as nickels in the box.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

Q #1: James’ uncle is thirteen less than three times James’ age. Which of the equations represents James’ uncle’s age (m) as it relates to James’ (n)?
A. m=13-3n
B. n=3m-13
C. m=13-3n
D. m=3n-13
Answer Explanation
in this case, we express James’ uncle’s age in terms of James’ age. From the equation:
James’ age is n
James’s uncle’s age is m=3n-13
Thus, the relation that relates James’ uncle’s age in terms of James’ age is m=3n-13.

Q #2: A pharmaceutical company’s stock price was $45.32 on Monday. On Tuesday, the price went up $3.25. On Wednesday, the price decreased from Tuesday’s price by $1.73. On Thursday, the price went up $0.89 from Wednesday’s price. Which of the following was the final price on Thursday?
A. $46.84
B. $47.73
C. $45.23
D. $48.57
Answer Explanation
we need to find the price of the stock on Thursday.
First, find the price changes in each day of the week as follows:
Monday’s price was $45.32
Tuesday’s price went up by $3.25 from Monday’s price. The price was $(45.32+3.25)=$48.57
Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.73 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(48.57-1.73)=$46.84
Thursday’s price increased by $0.89 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(46.84+0.89)=$47.73
Therefore, the stock price on Thursday was $47.73.

Q #3: A circle has an area of 81π in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi ( π)?
A. 4.5 π in
B. 14 π in
C. 18 π in
D. 9 π in
Answer Explanation
we need to find the circumference of the circle from the given area.
The first step is to find the radius of the circle using the given area. Let r be the radius of the circle, then:
Substituting the value of area in the above equation becomes
Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields
Now, we know the radius of circle to be 9 in, the circumference of the circle becomes,
in.
