To rent tablecloth from a rental vendor, there is an initial charge of $40. There is an additional charge of $5 per circular tablecloth (c) and $3.50 per rectangular tablecloth (r). Which of the following represents the total cost (T) to rent tablecloths?

A. 5r + 3.5c - 40 = T

B. 5c + 3.5r + 40 = T

C. 5c + 3.5r - 40 = T

D. 5r + 3.5c + 40 = T

Answer Explanation:

 From the given scenario:

Initial charge is $40

Additional charge per circular cloth=$5c

Additional charge per rectangular cloth=$3.50r

Total cost = additional charge per circular rectangular cloths + Initial charge

Total cost, T = 5c + 3.5r + 40

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

  • Q #1: The graph below compares the age of car to its value. Which of the following is the age of the car when its value is $12,500?

    A. Between 2 and 3 years

    B. Less than 1 year

    C. Greater than 3 years

    D. Between 1 and 2 years

    Answer Explanation

    We extrapolate the values of a line between 10 and 15 on y-axis to meet the curve and drop another line from the intersection of the curve to meet the x-axis and read off the age of the car.

    Now, let’s extrapolate in the following diagram

    The intersection of the line and the x-axis is between 4 and 5 years. This means that the car is about 4.5 years old. From the options given, the age of the car is more than 3 years old.

  • Q #2: The table below shows the miles driven as a function of gallons of gas used, what does the ordered pair (6,144) represent?

    A. The driver can go 24 miles in 1 hour

    B. The driver can go 144 miles with 6 gallons of gas

    C. The driver can go 6 miles with 144 gallons of gas

    D. The driver can go 144 miles in 6 hours

    Answer Explanation

    from the provided table, the first option represents the amount of gas in gallons while the second column shows the distance in miles. Thus, (6, 144) will denote that the car can 144 miles by consuming 6 gallons of a gas.

  • Q #3: A garden in the shape of a square has an area of 13 square feet. Each side of the garden has a length of √13 feet. Which of the following is the best decimal approximation for the length of each side?

    A. 4.5 feet

    B. 6.5 feet

    C. 3.6 feet

    D. 2.6 feet

    Answer Explanation

    In this problem, to find one side of the square garden, we use the calculator to find the square root of 13. Thus

    Thus, the approximate side of a square garden is about 3.6 ft
