1. A sandwich shop earns $4 for every sandwich (s) it sells, $2 for every drink (d), and $1 for every cookie (c). If this is all the shop sells, which of the following equations represents what the shop’s revenue (r) is over three days?
- A. r = 4s + 2d + 1c
- B. r = 8s + 4d + 2c
- C. r = 12s + 6d + 3c
- D. r = 16s + 8d + 4c
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Let s be the number of sandwiches sold. Each sandwich earns $4, so selling s sandwiches at $4 each results in revenue of $4s. Similarly, d drinks at $2 each give $2d of income, and cookies bring in $1c. Summing these values gives total revenue = 4s + 2d + 1c. Therefore, option A, r = 4s + 2d + 1c, correctly represents the shop's revenue. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly multiply the prices of each item by more than one day's sales, which would overstate the total revenue for a three-day period.
2. A quantity increases from 40 to 60. Express this increase as a percentage.
- A. 26%
- B. 50%
- C. 35%
- D. 12%
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the percentage increase, use the formula: Percentage Increase = ((New Value - Original Value) / Original Value) x 100 Substitute the values: ((60 - 40) / 40) x 100 = (20 / 40) x 100 = 0.5 x 100 = 50% Therefore, the correct answer is 50%. Choice A (26%) is incorrect as the percentage increase is not 26%. Choice C (35%) is incorrect as the percentage increase is not 35%. Choice D (12%) is incorrect as the percentage increase is not 12%.
3. In Jim's school, there are 3 girls for every 2 boys. There are 650 students in total. Using this information, how many students are girls?
- A. 260
- B. 130
- C. 65
- D. 390
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the number of girls in Jim's school, we first establish the ratio of girls to boys as 3:2. This ratio implies that out of every 5 students (3 girls + 2 boys), 3 are girls and 2 are boys. Since there are a total of 650 students, we can divide them into 5 equal parts based on the ratio. Each part represents 650 divided by 5, which is 130. Therefore, there are 3 parts of girls in the school, totaling 3 multiplied by 130, which equals 390. Hence, there are 390 girls in Jim's school. Choice A, 260, is incorrect as it does not consider the correct ratio and calculation. Choice B, 130, is incorrect as it only represents one part of the total students, not the number of girls. Choice C, 65, is incorrect as it ignores the total number of students and the ratio provided.
4. 4.67 miles is equivalent to how many kilometers to three significant digits?
- A. 7.514 km
- B. 7.51 km
- C. 2.90 km
- D. 2.902 km
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert miles to kilometers, we use the conversion factor of 1 mile ≈ 1.60934 km. Therefore, 4.67 miles * 1.60934 km/mile = 7.514 km. When rounded to three significant digits, the answer is 7.51 km. Choice A of 7.514 km is the correct conversion, but the question asked for the answer to be rounded to three significant digits, making choice B, 7.51 km, the most precise and correct option. Choices C and D are incorrect conversions and do not match the correct conversion of 4.67 miles to kilometers.
5. When rounding 2678 to the nearest thousandth, which place value would be used to decide whether to round up or round down?
- A. Ten-thousandth
- B. Thousandth
- C. Hundredth
- D. Thousand
Correct answer: B
Rationale: When rounding 2678 to the nearest thousandth, you would look at the digit in the thousandth place, which is 7. To decide whether to round up or down, you consider the digit to the immediate right of the place you are rounding to. Since 7 is equal to or greater than 5, you round up. Choice A, ten-thousandth, is incorrect as we are rounding to the thousandth place. Choice C, hundredth, is not relevant as we are not rounding to that place value. Choice D, thousand, is incorrect as it is the original number being rounded, not the place value used for rounding.
