Question 1 of 5
Donald earns 8% of the selling price of each house he sells. If he sells a house for $152,000, how much does he earn?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate how much Donald earns from selling a house for $152,000 at an 8% commission rate, we multiply the selling price by the commission rate: $152,000 x 0.08 = $12,160. Therefore, he earns $12,160. Choice A, $12,160, is the correct answer as calculated. Choices C and D are incorrect amounts as they do not result from the given information. Choice C, $19,000, is significantly higher than the correct calculation, and choice D, $21,600, is the result of incorrectly adding the commission to the selling price instead of calculating the commission earned.

Question 3 of 5
Add and simplify: 4â…” + 6½ =
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To add 4â…” and 6½, we first need to convert the fractions to have the same denominator. Converting 4â…” to 6ths gives us 8/6, and 6½ to 6ths gives us 7/2. Adding them together gives 15/2, which simplifies to 7½ or 9â…™. Therefore, the correct answer is 9â…™. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions after conversion and simplification.
Question 4 of 5
Tamison bought 20 stamps for 29¢ each and 40 stamps for 42¢ each. If she gave the postal worker $25, how much change did she receive?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: First, calculate the total cost of the 20 stamps bought at 29¢ each: 20 stamps * 29¢ = $5.80. Next, calculate the total cost of the 40 stamps bought at 42¢ each: 40 stamps * 42¢ = $16.80. The total cost of all stamps is $5.80 + $16.80 = $22.60. If Tamison gave $25 to the postal worker, her change is $25 - $22.60 = $2.40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Option B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct change Tamison received after buying the stamps.
Question 5 of 5
Convert this military time to regular time: 0705 hours.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In military time, 0705 hours translates to 7:05 A.M. Military time follows a 24-hour clock format, so there is no change from A.M. to P.M. like in regular time. Choice B (7:05 P.M.) is incorrect as 0705 hours is in the morning. Choices C (5:07 A.M.) and D (5:07 P.M.) are incorrect due to the incorrect order of hours and minutes.
