Question 1 of 5

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and a height of 7 cm?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the area of a triangle, you use the formula A = 1/2 base height. Substituting the given values: A = 1/2 10 cm 7 cm = 35 cm². Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (70 cm²) is incorrect as it seems to be the product of the base and height rather than the area formula. Choice C (140 cm²) is incorrect as it appears to be twice the correct answer, possibly a result of a miscalculation. Choice D (100 cm²) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given base and height values.

Question 2 of 5

If the price of a shirt was originally $30 and it is now being sold at a 20% discount, what is the sale price of the shirt?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the discount amount, calculate 20% of $30: 0.20 $30 = $6. Subtract the discount from the original price to get the sale price: $30 - $6 = $24. Therefore, the correct answer is $24. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of applying a 20% discount to the original price of $30.

Question 3 of 5

A car dealership's commercials claim that this year's models are 20% off the list price, plus they will pay the first 3 monthly payments. If a car is listed for $26,580, and the monthly payments are set at $250, what is the total potential savings?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total potential savings: First, find the 20% discount on the list price of $26,580: 0.20 $26,580 = $5,316. Then, determine the savings over the first 3 months of payments: 3 months $250/month = $750. Add the discount and the monthly payment savings to get the total potential savings: $5,316 + $750 = $6,066. Therefore, the correct answer is $6,066. Choice A, $1,282, is incorrect because it does not account for the total savings from both the discount and the monthly payments. Choice B, $5,566, is incorrect as it miscalculates the total savings by excluding the savings from the monthly payments. Choice D, $20,514, is incorrect as it does not consider the discount and only focuses on the list price.

Question 4 of 5

A dry cleaner charges $3 per shirt, $6 per pair of pants, and an extra $5 per item for mending. Annie drops off 5 shirts and 4 pairs of pants, 2 of which need mending. Assuming the cleaner charges an 8% sales tax, what will be the amount of Annie's total bill?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the total cost before tax, calculate: 5 shirts $3/shirt + 4 pants $6/pair of pants + 2 items mended $5/item mended = $49. Now, multiply this amount by 1.08 to include the 8% sales tax: $49 1.08 = $52.92. Therefore, Annie's total bill will be $52.92. Choice A, $45.08, is incorrect as it does not include the correct calculation for the total bill. Choice B, $49.00, is wrong because it is the total cost before tax and does not consider the added sales tax. Choice D, $88.20, is incorrect as it does not accurately calculate the total bill including the sales tax.

Question 5 of 5

A sandwich shop earns $4 for every sandwich (s) it sells, $2 for every drink (d), and $1 for every cookie (c). If this is all the shop sells, which of the following equations represents what the shop's revenue (r) is over three days?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Let s be the number of sandwiches sold. Each sandwich earns $4, so selling s sandwiches at $4 each results in revenue of $4s. Similarly, d drinks at $2 each give $2d of income, and cookies bring in $1c. Summing these values gives total revenue = 4s + 2d + 1c. Therefore, option A, r = 4s + 2d + 1c, correctly represents the shop's revenue. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly multiply the prices of each item by more than one day's sales, which would overstate the total revenue for a three-day period.
