Question 1 of 5
A restaurant employs servers, hosts, and managers in a ratio of 9:2:1. If there are 36 total employees, what is the number of hosts at the restaurant?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the number of hosts in the restaurant, first, express the ratio algebraically as 9x + 2x + 1x = 36, where x represents the common factor. Combine like terms to get 12x = 36. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12 to get x = 3. To find the number of hosts, multiply the coefficient of hosts (2) by x, which equals 6. Therefore, there are 6 hosts at the restaurant. Choice A, 3, is incorrect as it represents the number of servers. Choices B and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the number of hosts based on the given ratio.
Question 2 of 5
A woman's dinner bill comes to $48.30. If she adds a 20% tip, which of the following will be her total bill?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To calculate the total bill after adding a 20% tip, you need to find 120% of the original bill. This is because adding a 20% tip means paying 120% of the bill. So, $48.30 120/100 = $57.96. Therefore, the correct answer is $57.96. Choice A ($9.66) is incorrect as it represents only the 20% tip amount. Choice B ($38.64) is incorrect as it is the original bill amount without the tip. Choice C ($48.30) is incorrect as it is the original bill amount and does not include the additional 20% tip.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following lists is in order from least to greatest? (1/7), 0.125, (6/9), 0.60
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, convert all fractions to decimals and compare them. Converting the fractions: (1/7) ≈ 0.14, (6/9) ≈ 0.67. The decimals in order from least to greatest are: 0.125 < 0.14 < 0.60 < 0.67. Therefore, the correct order is 0.125, (1/7), 0.60, 6/9, making choice C the correct answer. Choice A is incorrect as it lists (1/7) before 0.125. Choice B is incorrect as it places 0.60 before (6/9). Choice D is incorrect as it lists (6/9) before 0.60.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is equivalent to 3.28?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, we can treat it as a fraction over 1 and then simplify. For 3.28, it can be written as 3.28/1. To convert this to a fraction, we multiply by 100 to get (328/100). Then, to simplify, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 4 to get (82/25). This simplifies further to (7/25). Therefore, (7/25) is equivalent to 3.28. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the decimal 3.28.
Question 5 of 5
x · 7 = x − 36. Solve the equation. Which of the following is correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To solve the equation x · 7 = x − 36, start by multiplying both sides by 7 to get 7(x · 7) = 7(x − 36), which simplifies to x = 7x − 252. Next, subtract 7x from both sides to get -6x = -252. Finally, divide both sides by -6 to solve for x, which results in x = 42. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 42. Choice A (x = 6), Choice C (x = 4), and Choice D (x = 252) are incorrect as they do not align with the correct solution derived from the equation.
