1. At a comic book store, Robert purchased three comics for $2.65 each. If he paid with a $20 bill, how much change did he receive?

• A. $12.05
• B. $11.05
• C. $10.00
• D. $13.50

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Robert spent a total of $7.95 on three comics ($2.65 each). When he paid with a $20 bill, the change he received can be calculated by subtracting the total cost from the payment amount: $20 - $7.95 = $12.05. Therefore, Robert received $12.05 in change. Choice B ($11.05) is incorrect because it doesn't reflect the correct calculation. Choice C ($10.00) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the total cost of the comics. Choice D ($13.50) is incorrect as it overestimates the change Robert received.

2. What is the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6 rounded off to the nearest whole number?

• A. 0
• B. 6
• C. 11
• D. 2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the result of dividing 3.44 by 0.6, you perform the division operation: 3.44 ÷ 0.6 = 5.73. When rounded off to the nearest whole number, 5.73 becomes 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6. Choice A is incorrect as the result is not 0. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the closest whole number to 5.73. Choice D is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate division result.

3. 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.

4. Subtract 15 3/4 - 8 2/5.

• A. 7 7/20
• B. 6 7/20
• C. 9 1/5
• D. 8 2/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 20. Convert 15 3/4 to 15 15/20. Then, subtract 15 15/20 - 8 8/20 = 7 7/20. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the result of the subtraction. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the subtraction. Choice D is incorrect as it represents the second number being subtracted, not the result of the subtraction.

5. How many meters are in 2 kilometers?

• A. 100 meters
• B. 200 meters
• C. 2000 meters
• D. 3000 meters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 1 kilometer equals 1,000 meters. Therefore, 2 kilometers equals 2,000 meters. Choice A, 100 meters, is incorrect as it represents only 1/10th of a kilometer. Choice B, 200 meters, is incorrect as it represents only 1/5th of a kilometer. Choice D, 3000 meters, is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion from kilometers to meters.
