1. Chan receives a bonus from his job. He pays 30% in taxes, donates 30% to charity, and uses another 25% to pay off an old debt. He has $600 remaining. What was the total amount of Chan's bonus?

• A. $3,000
• B. $3,200
• C. $3,600
• D. $4,000

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Chan has used 30% + 30% + 25% = 85% of his bonus, which leaves 15% remaining. Since 15% of his bonus is $600, you can find the total bonus amount by dividing $600 by 15% (or multiplying by 100/15), which equals $4,000. Therefore, the correct answer is $4,000. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the total remaining amount after the specified deductions.

2. How many quarts are in 1 liter?

• A. 1 quart
• B. 1.06 quarts
• C. 2 quarts
• D. 0.5 quarts

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to quarts, you can use the conversion factor 1 liter ≈ 1.06 quarts. Therefore, 1 liter is approximately 1.06 quarts. Choice A is incorrect because 1 quart is not equivalent to 1 liter. Choice C is incorrect as 2 quarts is more than 1 liter. Choice D is incorrect as 0.5 quarts is half of 1 liter.

3. If 3/4 of students at a university major in nursing and 1/3 of those students complete the program, how many will complete the program if 100 students are in the incoming class?

• A. 75
• B. 20
• C. 15
• D. 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Out of the 100 students, 3/4 (75 students) major in nursing. Since 1/3 of those students complete the program, 1/3 * 75 = 25 students will complete the program. Therefore, 25 students out of the 100 incoming class will complete the program, making choice C (15) the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

4. Jessica buys 10 cans of paint. Red paint costs $1 per can, and blue paint costs $2 per can. In total, she spends $16. How many red cans did she buy?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Let r be the number of red cans and b be the number of blue cans. The total cans equation is r + b = 10. The total cost equation is r + 2b = 16. By solving these equations simultaneously, we find r = 4. Therefore, Jessica bought 4 red cans. Choice A, 2 red cans, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the total cans or total cost condition. Choices B and D are also incorrect as they do not fulfill both conditions simultaneously.

5. How do you find the least common multiple?

• A. List all multiples of the numbers, then find the smallest common one
• B. List all factors of the numbers, then find the largest common one
• C. Divide the largest number by the smallest
• D. Multiply the two numbers together

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct way to find the least common multiple is to list all the multiples of each number and then identify the smallest common multiple. Choice A is correct because it describes the correct process. Listing factors, as suggested in choice B, helps in finding the greatest common factor, not the least common multiple. Dividing the largest number by the smallest, as mentioned in choice C, does not help find the least common multiple. Multiplying the two numbers together, as stated in choice D, results in their least common multiple when the numbers have no common factors.
