1. Change the following percentage to a decimal: 76.3%

• A. 0.0763
• B. 7
• C. 0.763
• D. 7.63

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. In this case, to convert 76.3% to a decimal, you move the decimal point two places to the left, resulting in 0.763. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.0763) is incorrect as it represents 7.63% as a decimal. Choice B (7) and Choice D (7.63) are not correct conversions of the given percentage to a decimal.

2. If she had $1,070 after spending $18, how much did she have initially?

• A. $1,052
• B. $1,060
• C. $1,071
• D. $1,075

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine the initial amount she had, we subtract the amount spent ($18) from the total amount she had after spending. If she had $1,070 after spending, subtracting $18 gives us $1,052, which was the initial amount. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the subtraction of the amount spent to find the initial amount.

3. If his distribution cost is $10, what will be his profit?

• A. $10.40
• B. $19.60
• C. $14.90
• D. $23.40

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate profit, we subtract the total distribution cost from the revenue. Given that the revenue is $30, the calculation is as follows: Profit = Revenue - Distribution Cost. Therefore, Profit = $30 - $10 = $20. Hence, the profit will be $19.60. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly adds the distribution cost to the revenue. Choice C is incorrect as it does not consider the distribution cost. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the profit by adding the distribution cost again to the correct profit amount.

4. How many liters are there in 500 milliliters?

• A. 0.5 liters
• B. 5 liters
• C. 50 liters
• D. 500,000 liters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 0.5 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 500 milliliters is equal to 0.5 liters. Choice B, 5 liters, is incorrect because it would be the equivalent of 5000 milliliters. Choice C, 50 liters, is incorrect as it is ten times the converted value. Choice D, 500,000 liters, is way off as it is a thousand times more than the correct conversion.

5. A healthcare professional works in a military hospital from 1300 to 2000. What time of day does this healthcare professional work?

• A. Early morning to early afternoon
• B. Lunchtime to midnight
• C. Early afternoon to bedtime
• D. Midnight to sunrise

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Early afternoon to bedtime. The healthcare professional's work hours from 1300 to 2000 correspond to 1 PM to 8 PM, indicating work during the afternoon and early evening. Choice A (Early morning to early afternoon) is incorrect because the professional works in the afternoon and early evening, not the morning. Choice B (Lunchtime to midnight) is incorrect as the professional finishes work before midnight, not until midnight. Choice D (Midnight to sunrise) is incorrect as the professional's work hours are during the daytime and evening, not overnight.
