Which of the following is 31% of 426?
A. 425.69
B. 132.06
C. 13.7
D. 0.07
First convert 31% to a decimal before working on the problem
31%=31/100=0.31
Thus, 31% of 426=0.31*426=132.06
Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

Q #1: A teacher asked all the students in the class which days of the week they get up after 8 a.m. Which of the following is the best way to display the frequency for each day of the week?
A. Histogram
B. Pie graph
C. Bar graph
D. Scatter plot
Answer Explanation
The best way to display the frequency of each day of the week when students get up after 8 a.m. is by using a bar graph. Bar graphs are well-suited for representing categorical data, where each day of the week is a separate category, and the height of each bar corresponds to the count or frequency of students waking up late on that specific day.
Note: Histograms, on the other hand, are more appropriate for visualizing continuous or numerical data and are not ideal for categorical data like days of the week. Histograms are useful for understanding the distribution of data, identifying patterns, and assessing the shape of the data distribution, such as whether it's normally distributed, skewed, or has multiple modes.
As you can see below, the Histogram is used to depict a pattern/continuous/range data. While a bar graph does just fine even with discrete data.

Q #2: (x/y)-z=rw Solve for x in the equation above.
A. X=y(z+rw)
B. X=rw(y-z)
C. X=rwy+z
D. X=rwy-z
Answer Explanation
Given the equation (x/y)-z=rw, we make x the subject of the formula as follows:
(x/y)-z=rw
Add z to both sides of the equation
(x/y)-z+z=rw+z
(x/y)=rw+z
Multiply both sides by y
(x/y)*y=y(rw+z)
X=y(rw+z)
Rearranging the equation results in:
X = y(z+rw)

Q #3: Which of the following values is the greatest?
A. 4.25
B. 10/3
C. 4.4
D. 9/2
Answer Explanation
To compare the given values, convert them to the same number format. In this case, convert the given fractions into equivalent decimals.
10/3=3.3333…..
9/2=4.5
Thus, the numbers become 4.25, 3.333…, 4.4, 4.5
Now arranging them in ascending order becomes 3.333…., 4.25, 4.4, 4.5
From the above, 4.5 is the greatest value.
