1. A patient's height is 1.65 meters and their weight is 75kg. Calculate their BMI and interpret the result.

• A. 23.1 (Normal)
• B. 25.3 (Overweight)
• C. 27.7 (Overweight)
• D. 32.8 (Obese)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate BMI, divide weight (75kg) by height squared (1.65m^2) to get BMI (27.7). A BMI of 27.7 falls within the 'overweight' category (25-29.9 BMI). Choice A is incorrect as a BMI of 23.1 would be in the 'normal' range (18.5-24.9 BMI). Choice B is incorrect as 25.3 falls within the 'overweight' category. Choice D is incorrect as 32.8 is in the 'obese' category (>30 BMI). Therefore, the correct answer is C.

2. After spending money on a sandwich, a drink, and a bag of chips, how much money did the man have left from his initial $10?

• A. $1.50
• B. $0.95
• C. $1.90
• D. $2.10

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After spending $6.50 on a sandwich, the man had $3.50 left. Then, after spending $1.80 on a drink, he had $1.70 left. Finally, he spent another $0.75 on a bag of chips. Subtracting $0.75 from $1.70 gives us $0.95, which is the amount of money he had left. Choice A is incorrect because it does not consider the bag of chips he bought. Choice C is incorrect as it miscalculates the remaining amount. Choice D is incorrect as it does not account for the total expenses.

3. After spending $75.64 at one store and $22.43 at the next store, how much money does the shopper have left if they started with $100.00?

• A. $1.93
• B. $5.00
• C. $0.72
• D. $20.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much money the shopper has left, add the amounts spent: $75.64 + $22.43 = $98.07. Then, subtract the total spent from the starting amount: $100.00 - $98.07 = $1.93 left. Therefore, choice A, $1.93, is the correct answer. Choice B, $5.00, is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C, $0.72, is incorrect as it does not consider the total amount spent. Choice D, $20.13, is incorrect because it does not reflect the remaining amount after the expenses.

4. Round to the tenths place: What is 6.4% of 32?

• A. 1.8
• B. 2.1
• C. 2.6
• D. 2.0

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 6.4% of 32, first calculate 6.4% as a decimal (0.064) and then multiply it by 32 to get 2.048. When rounding to the tenths place, 2.048 is rounded to 2.1 because the digit after the tenths place is 8, which is equal to or greater than 5. Choice A is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate calculation. Choices C and D are also incorrect because they do not match the correct result of multiplying 6.4% by 32 and rounding to the tenths place.

5. In his stamp collection, Bruno has 15 more stamps from Europe than from Africa, and 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa. If he has 27 stamps from Europe, how many Asian stamps does he have?

• A. 12
• B. 22
• C. 30
• D. 40

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since Bruno has 27 stamps from Europe, which is 15 more than from Africa, he must have 27 - 15 = 12 stamps from Africa. Since he also has 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa, he must have 12 + 18 = 30 stamps from Asia. Therefore, Bruno has 30 Asian stamps. Choice A (12) is the number of stamps Bruno has from Africa, not Asia. Choices B (22) and D (40) are not derived from the correct calculations based on the given information.
