1. A man decided to buy new furniture from Futuristic Furniture for $2,600. Futuristic Furniture gave the man two choices: pay the entire amount in one payment with cash, or pay $1,000 as a down payment and $120 per month for two full years in the financing plan. If the man chooses the financing plan, how much more would he pay?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the total cost with the financing plan, multiply $120 by 24 months to get $2,880. Adding the $1,000 down payment gives a total of $3,880. By comparing this total with the initial cost of $2,600 when paying in cash, the man would pay $1,280 more with the financing plan. Choice A, $1,480 more, is incorrect because it miscalculates the additional amount. Choice C, $1,600 more, is incorrect as it overestimates the extra cost. Choice D, $2,480 more, is incorrect as it significantly overstates the additional payment.

2. If you have a rectangle with a width of 5 inches and a length of 10 inches and scale it by a factor of 2, what will the new perimeter be?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When a rectangle is scaled by a factor of 2, both the length and width are multiplied by 2. The new dimensions become width = 5 * 2 = 10 inches and length = 10 * 2 = 20 inches. Therefore, the new perimeter is calculated as 2 * (10 + 20) = 60 inches. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on scaling the dimensions of the rectangle.

3. At the beginning of the day, Xavier has 20 apples. At lunch, he meets his sister Emma and gives her half of his apples. After lunch, he stops by his neighbor Jim's house and gives him 6 of his apples. He then uses 3/4 of his remaining apples to make an apple pie for dessert at dinner. At the end of the day, how many apples does Xavier have left?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Xavier gives away half of his 20 apples (10), then gives 6 more apples, leaving him with 4 apples. He uses 3/4 of the remaining 4 apples (3) for the pie, leaving him with 1 apple at the end of the day. Therefore, the correct answer is 1. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculations of apples given away and used for the pie, resulting in the remaining amount of 1 apple.

4. Simplify (x^2 - y^2) / (x - y)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The expression 𝑥^2 - 𝑦^2 is a difference of squares, which follows the identity: 𝑥^2 - 𝑦^2 = (𝑥 + 𝑦)(𝑥 - 𝑦). Therefore, the given expression becomes: (𝑥^2 - 𝑦^2) / (𝑥 - 𝑦) = (𝑥 + 𝑦)(𝑥 - 𝑦) / (𝑥 - 𝑦). Since (𝑥 - 𝑦) appears in both the numerator and the denominator, they cancel each other out, leaving 𝑥 + 𝑦. Thus, the simplified form of (𝑥^2 - 𝑦^2) / (𝑥 - 𝑦) is 𝑥 + 𝑦. Therefore, the correct answer is A (x + y). Option B (x - y) is incorrect as it does not result from simplifying the given expression. Option C (1) is incorrect as it does not account for the variables x and y present in the expression. Option D ((x + y)/(x - y)) is incorrect as it presents the simplified form in a different format than the correct answer.

5. The number of vacuum cleaners sold by a company per month during Year 1 is listed below: 18, 42, 29, 40, 24, 17, 29, 44, 19, 33, 46, 39. Which of the following is true?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The mean number of vacuum cleaners sold per month is 31.7, the mode is 29, the median is 31, and the range is 29. The mode being equal to the range is the correct statement. Option A is incorrect because the mean (31.7) is greater than the median (31). Option B is incorrect as the mode (29) is not greater than the median (31). Option C is incorrect since the mode (29) is not less than the mean, median, or range.
