  • Q #1: The table shows healthcare spending per capita in a group of African nations. Based on this information, which of the following countries had the greatest change in dollars spent per capita from 2013 to 2015?

    A. Eritrea

    B. Sudan

    C. Tanzania

    D. Kenya

    Answer Explanation

    To find a solution to this, we need to find the change in spending between the year 2013 and 2015 for each country. Change is difference in amount spent in 2015 and 2013 for each country:

    Sudan=$(24-17)= $7

    Eritrea=$(42-56)= - $14

    Nigeria = $(21-16)= $5

    Tanzania =$(81-68) = $13

    Rwanda = $(24-27) =-$3

    Kenya = $(88-81) = $8

    A Minus sign means a decrease in spending. From the above calculations, Eritrea had the GREATEST change in dollars spent while Rwanda had the LEAST change in dollars spent.

  • Q #3: 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.
