  • Q #1: 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. 1/5

    B. 1/3

    C. ¼

    D. 1/6

    Answer Explanation

    We assume the pizza to be full representing 1. One friend eats ½ of 1=1/2

    The remaining portion of the pizza=1-1/2=2/2-1/2=1/2

    Three friends share equally ½ of the pizza=1/2÷3=12*13=1/6

  • Q #2: A consumer recently purchased a new car and paid $48,000. This amount is $2,000 less than twice what the consumer’s friend paid for their car. Which of the following is the amount that the friend paid for their car?

    A. $23,000

    B. $46,000

    C. $25,000

    D. $50,000

    Answer Explanation

    Let the amount the friend pays be x. Then, 2 times what the friend pays is 2x. Less $2,000 what the friend pays is 2x-2000.

    Now we know that

    2x-2000=48000

    Add 2000 to both sides of the equation

    2x-2000+2000=48000+2000

    2x+2000-2000=50000

    2x=50000

    Divide both sides by 2

    X=25000

    Thus, the friend pays $25,000 for their car.
