  • Q #1: 3(3x+3)=8x+5 Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is correct?

    A. 1

    B. 4

    C. -1

    D. -4

    Answer Explanation

    We use the order of operation to solve for the unknown value of x.  

    3(3x+3)=8x+5

    Multiply 3 with each number in the brackets

    (3*3x)+(3*3)=8x+5

    9x+9=8x+5

    Subtract 9 from both sides

    9x+9-9=8x+5-9

    9x=8x-4

    Subtract 8x on both sides

    9x-8x=8x-8x-4

    x=-4

    Thus, the unknown value of x is -4.

  • Q #2: Lana has $90. She spends 70% of the money. She then invests the remaining amount and earns a profit of 60%. How much money does she now have?

    A. $16.20

    B. $84.20

    C. $43.20

    D. $27.00

    Answer Explanation

    We need to find the amount Lana left after spending and investing another.

    Lana spends=70% of $90=70/100 * 90 = $63

    Amount left after spending=$(90-63) = $27

    Lana is left with $27, which she will invest and earns a profit of 60%.

    Profit earned=60% of $27 = 60/100 * 27 = $16.20

    Therefore, Lana will have $27 + $16.20 = $43.20

  • Q #3: Which of the following is the weight of the cargo in a truck if 2/3 of the cargo weighs 530 pounds (lb)?

    A. 795 lb

    B. 1030 lb

    C. 1590 lb

    D. 688 lb

    Answer Explanation

    The truck carries a whole cargo which equals 1. If we let the weight of the cargo to be p, then we set up a proportion equation with weight as numerator and fraction of cargo as denominator.

    Solve for value of p by cross products

    Multiply both sides by 3/2 a reciprocal of 2/3

    The truck carries a cargo weighing 795 lb.
