Q #2: A family is planning a driving vacation and is estimating the price of gasoline. While on the vacation, the family plans to drive 3,000 miles. The car gets about 25 miles per gallon, and the cost of gasoline is $1.66 per gallon. Which of the following is the estimate for cost of gasoline for the vacation?
A. $120.00
B. $41.50
C. $72.29
D. $199.20
Answer Explanation
We solve the problem by first finding the amount of gallons needed for the whole trip then find the cost of the gallon.
The car uses 1 gallon to cover 25 miles, which is same as:
Now, in 3000 miles, the car will use how many gallons of gasoline?
A trip of 3000 miles will need 120 gallons. And to find the cost of 120 gallons, we proceed as follows:
The family will spend $199.20 to drive for 3000 miles.

Q #3: A local law school reports that 74% of last year's graduates are employed by law firms, 3% work for the government and 2% work for nonprofit organizations. The rest of the graduates work at jobs unrelated to law. Based on these outcomes, which of the following is the percentage of graduates working jobs unrelated to law?
A. 5%
B. 79%
C. 69%
D. 21%
Answer Explanation
Percentages always add up to 100%. If we let x be the percent of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law, then
74%+3%+2%+x=100%
79%+x=100%
Subtract 79% from both sides of the equation
79%-79%+x=100%
x=100%-79%
x=21%
So, the number of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law is 21%.
