1. A gumball machine contains red, orange, yellow, green, and blue gumballs. Twenty percent of the gumballs are red, 30% are orange, 5% are yellow, 10% are green, and the rest are blue. If there are a total of 120 gumballs, how many more blue gumballs are there than yellow gumballs?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The percentage of blue gumballs is 35% (100% - 20% - 30% - 5% - 10% = 35%). If there are 120 gumballs, 35% of that is 42 blue gumballs. Since 5% are yellow gumballs, which is 6 gumballs, the difference between 42 blue gumballs and 6 yellow gumballs is 36 more blue gumballs. Therefore, the correct answer is 36. Choice A (48) is incorrect as it miscalculates the difference. Choice B (30) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct percentage of blue gumballs. Choice C (42) is incorrect as it miscalculates the difference between blue and yellow gumballs.

2. A set of patients is divided into groups: 1/2 in Group Alpha, 1/3 in Group Beta, and 1/6 in Group Gamma. Order the groups from smallest to largest.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the order from smallest to largest groups, we look at the fractions representing the groups. Group Gamma has 1/6, which is the smallest fraction, followed by Group Alpha with 1/2, and Group Beta with 1/3 being the largest fraction. So, the correct order is Gamma, Alpha, Beta. Choice A is incorrect because it lists Alpha, Beta, Gamma, which is the reverse order. Choice B is incorrect as it lists Alpha, Gamma, Beta, which is also incorrect. Choice D is incorrect as it lists Gamma, Beta, Alpha, which is not the correct order based on the fractions provided.

3. What is the result of multiplying (3/5) by (5/8)?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For (3/5) * (5/8), you get (3*5) / (5*8) = 15 / 40, which simplifies to 3/8. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/5) is incorrect as it is one of the original fractions being multiplied. Choice C (15/40) is the result of the multiplication but not simplified to its lowest terms. Choice D (3/30) is incorrect as the numerator is not the result of multiplying 3 and 5 together.

4. How will 0.80 be written as a percent?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.80 * 100 = 80%. The correct answer is D. Choice A (40%) is incorrect as 0.80 is not equivalent to 40%. Choice B (125%) is incorrect as it is greater than 100%. Choice C (90%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion of 0.80 to a percent.

5. Chan receives a bonus from his job. He pays 30% in taxes, donates 30% to charity, and uses another 25% to pay off an old debt. He has $600 remaining. What was the total amount of Chan's bonus?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Chan has used 30% + 30% + 25% = 85% of his bonus, which leaves 15% remaining. Since 15% of his bonus is $600, you can find the total bonus amount by dividing $600 by 15% (or multiplying by 100/15), which equals $4,000. Therefore, the correct answer is $4,000. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the total remaining amount after the specified deductions.
