1. What is 2/3 of 60 + 1/5 of 75?

• A. 45
• B. 55
• C. 15
• D. 50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the expression, first calculate 2/3 of 60 by multiplying 60 by 2/3, which equals 40. Then, calculate 1/5 of 75 by multiplying 75 by 1/5, which equals 15. Finally, add these results together: 40 + 15 = 55. Therefore, the correct answer is 55. Choice A (45) is incorrect because it seems to be the sum of the two fractions, not their individual calculations. Choice C (15) is incorrect because it only represents 1/5 of 75. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it might be a miscalculation of the sum of the two fractions.

2. Multiply: 15 × 14 = and express the result in decimal form.

• A. 0.0021
• B. 0.021
• C. 0.21
• D. 2.1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 15 and 14, you multiply the two numbers together. 15 multiplied by 14 equals 210. When written in decimal form, it is 2.1. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.1, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they reflect values much smaller than the actual product of 15 and 14, which is 210, equivalent to 2.1 in decimal form.

3. Edie has 132 tulip bulbs. She wants to plant all of the tulip bulbs in 12 rows. How many bulbs should she plant in each row?

• A. 11 bulbs
• B. 10 bulbs
• C. 12 bulbs
• D. 15 bulbs

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To plant 132 bulbs in 12 rows, Edie should plant 11 bulbs in each row. This is calculated by dividing the total number of bulbs by the number of rows: 132 bulbs ÷ 12 rows = 11 bulbs per row. Choice B, 10 bulbs, is incorrect because dividing 132 bulbs by 12 rows does not equal 10. Choice C, 12 bulbs, is incorrect because if Edie plants 12 bulbs in each row, the total number of bulbs planted would exceed 132. Choice D, 15 bulbs, is incorrect as dividing 132 bulbs by 12 rows does not result in 15 bulbs per row.

4. If he left a tip of $36 on a total bill of $200, what percentage of the total bill did he leave as a tip?

• A. 16%
• B. 18%
• C. 20%
• D. 22%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the tip percentage left, divide the tip amount ($36) by the total bill amount ($200), then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: (36/200) x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he left an 18% tip on the total bill amount. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because the correct calculation results in 18%. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (22%) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage based on the provided numbers.

5. What is the result of adding 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08?

• A. 21.114
• B. 21.042
• C. 20.214
• D. 59.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08, we add them together: 4.934 + 7.1 + 9.08 = 21.114. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 21.114. Choice B, 21.042, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate sum of the numbers provided. Choice C, 20.214, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct addition of the given numbers. Choice D, 59.13, is incorrect as it is not the sum of the numbers 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08.
