1. A pizza has a diameter of 40cm. What is its perimeter (circumference)?

• A. 62.8cm
• B. 125.5cm
• C. 125.6cm
• D. 251.2cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is obtained by applying the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is \(C = \pi \times d\), where \(d\) is the diameter of the circle. By substituting the given diameter of 40cm into the formula and performing the calculation, we find that the circumference of the pizza is 125.6cm.

2. If a dozen roses cost $36, how much will four roses cost?

• A. $9
• B. $12
• C. $10
• D. $15

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the cost of each rose, divide the total cost by the number of roses in a dozen: $36 ÷ 12 = $3 per rose. Therefore, 4 roses will cost 4 × $3 = $12. Choice A ($9) is incorrect because it miscalculates the cost per rose. Choice C ($10) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the correct division of the total cost. Choice D ($15) is incorrect as it overestimates the cost of four roses.

3. What is 75% of 80?

• A. 35
• B. 45
• C. 70
• D. 60

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate 75% of 80, you multiply 0.75 by 80, which equals 60. Therefore, the correct answer is 60. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent 75% of 80. Choice A (35) is close to 50% of 80, Choice B (45) is close to 56.25% of 80, and Choice C (70) exceeds 80.

4. Chun Mei earns a 5% commission on each appliance she sells. If she sells a washer for $749 and a dryer for $689, what will her commission be?

• A. $37.45
• B. $71.90
• C. $149.80
• D. $287.60

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate Chun Mei's commission, we first find the total sales amount by adding the prices of the washer and dryer: $749 + $689 = $1438. Next, we calculate her 5% commission on this total sales amount: 0.05 * $1438 = $71.90. Therefore, Chun Mei's commission for selling both appliances will be $71.90. Choice B, $71.90, is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation of Chun Mei's commission based on the given scenario.

5. How many ounces are there in 4 cups?

• A. 16 ounces
• B. 24 ounces
• C. 28 ounces
• D. 32 ounces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many ounces are in 4 cups, you need to multiply 8 ounces (the number of ounces in 1 cup) by 4 cups. This calculation results in 32 ounces. However, the question asks for the number of ounces in 4 cups, not the total ounces in 4 cups. Therefore, there are 16 ounces in 4 cups. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct conversion of ounces in 4 cups.
