1. A woman’s dinner bill comes to $48.30. If she adds a 20% tip, which of the following will be her total bill?

• A. $9.66
• B. $38.64
• C. $48.30
• D. $57.96

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the total bill after adding a 20% tip, you need to find 120% of the original bill. This is because adding a 20% tip means paying 120% of the bill. So, $48.30 × 120/100 = $57.96. Therefore, the correct answer is $57.96. Choice A ($9.66) is incorrect as it represents only the 20% tip amount. Choice B ($38.64) is incorrect as it is the original bill amount without the tip. Choice C ($48.30) is incorrect as it is the original bill amount and does not include the additional 20% tip.

2. A restaurant employs servers, hosts, and managers in a ratio of 9:2:1. If there are 36 total employees, what is the number of hosts at the restaurant?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 8

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of hosts in the restaurant, first, express the ratio algebraically as 9x + 2x + 1x = 36, where x represents the common factor. Combine like terms to get 12x = 36. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12 to get x = 3. To find the number of hosts, multiply the coefficient of hosts (2) by x, which equals 6. Therefore, there are 6 hosts at the restaurant. Choice A, 3, is incorrect as it represents the number of servers. Choices B and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the number of hosts based on the given ratio.

3. How many gallons are in 1,000 fluid ounces?

• A. 7.8125 gallons
• B. 15.625 gallons
• C. 31.25 gallons
• D. 62.5 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to divide the number of fluid ounces by the number of fluid ounces in a gallon. Since there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, to find out how many gallons are in 1,000 fluid ounces, you divide 1,000 by 128. The correct calculation is 1,000 / 128 = 7.8125 gallons. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.

4. Simplify the following expression: 1.034 + 0.275 - 1.294

• A. 0.015
• B. 0.15
• C. 1.5
• D. -0.15

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To simplify the expression, begin by adding 1.034 and 0.275, which equals 1.309. Then, subtract 1.294 from the sum: 1.309 - 1.294 = 0.015. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.015. Choice B (0.15) is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate calculation. Choice C (1.5) is incorrect as it is not the correct result of the expression simplification. Choice D (-0.15) is incorrect as it represents a different value than the correct outcome of the expression simplification.

5. Approximately how many people voted for the proposition if 9.5% of the town's population of 51,623 voted for it in a municipal election?

• A. 3,000
• B. 5,000
• C. 7,000
• D. 10,000

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the approximate number of people who voted for the proposition, multiply the town's population by the percentage that voted for it. 9.5% of 51,623 is about 0.095 * 51,623 ≈ 4,904. Rounded to the nearest thousand, this gives an estimate of 5,000 people. Therefore, choice B, '5,000,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the calculated estimation.
