1. A patient requires a 30% increase in the dosage of their medication. Their current dosage is 270 mg. What will their dosage be after the increase?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the 30% increase, find 30% of 270 mg: 0.30 x 270 mg = 81 mg. Add this increase to the original dosage: 270 mg + 81 mg = 351 mg. Therefore, the patient's dosage after the 30% increase will be 351 mg. Choice A (81 mg) is incorrect as it only represents the calculated increase, not the total dosage post-increase. Choice B (270 mg) is the original dosage and does not account for the 30% increase. Choice C (300 mg) is the original dosage plus 30 mg, not the correct calculation with a 30% increase.

2. Solve for x: 3(x + 4) = 18

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To solve the equation 3(x + 4) = 18, first distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses: 3x + 12 = 18. Next, isolate the variable x by subtracting 12 from both sides: 3x = 6. Finally, divide by 3 to solve for x, giving x = 6. Choice A, x = 2, is incorrect as the correct solution is x = 6. Choices B (x = 4) and D (x = 8) are also incorrect as they do not satisfy the given equation.

3. University Q has an extremely competitive nursing program. Historically, 3/4 of the students in each incoming class major in nursing, but only 1/5 of those who major in nursing complete the program. If this year’s incoming class has 100 students, how many will complete the nursing program?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Out of the 100 students, 3/4 major in nursing, which equals 75 students. However, only 1/5 of these 75 students will complete the program. Calculating 1/5 of 75 gives us 15 students who will complete the nursing program. Therefore, the correct answer is 15. Choice A (75) is incorrect as it represents the total number of students majoring in nursing, not completing the program. Choices B (20) and D (5) are incorrect calculations and do not align with the information provided in the question.

4. What is 31% of 426?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 31% of 426, multiply 0.31 by 426. This gives 0.31 × 426 = 132.06. Therefore, choice B, 132.06, is the correct answer. Choice A, 425.69, is close to the original number but is not the correct answer for the percentage calculation. Choice C, 13.7, is not the correct result for 31% of 426. Choice D, 0.07, is significantly lower than the correct answer and does not represent 31% of 426.

5. How will the number 89632 be written if rounded to the nearest hundred?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rounding the number 89632 to the nearest hundred means keeping only two digits before the decimal point. The digit in the hundredth place is the digit in the thousands place of the original number, which is 6. Since 6 is equal to or greater than 5, the digit in the hundredth place, which is 3, gets rounded up. Thus, the number 89632 rounded to the nearest hundred is 900. Choice A, 847.9, rounds the number to the nearest tenth, not hundredth. Choice C, 847.89, adds an extra decimal place which is not correct for rounding to the nearest hundred. Choice D, 847.896, adds more decimal places than necessary for rounding to the nearest hundred.
