1. Divide: 92 ÷ 11 =

• A. 8 r3
• B. 8 r4
• C. 8 r7
• D. 9 r1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To divide 92 by 11, you get 8 as the whole number part of the quotient. The remainder is 4, so the correct answer is 8 r4. Choice A, 8 r3, is incorrect because the remainder is 4, not 3. Choice C, 8 r7, is incorrect as the remainder cannot be greater than the divisor. Choice D, 9 r1, is incorrect as the whole number part of the quotient is 8, not 9.

2. Casey spent $80 on items where each item costs $4. How many items did Casey buy?

• A. 12
• B. 18
• C. 20
• D. 24

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of items Casey bought for $80, we divide the total amount spent ($80) by the cost per item ($4). The calculation gives us 20, indicating that Casey bought 20 items in total to reach the $80 expenditure ($80 ÷ $4 = 20). Therefore, the correct answer is C, 20. Choices A (12), B (18), and D (24) are incorrect because they do not align with the correct division calculation based on the information provided.

3. A gross is equal to 12 dozen. If Lanyard Farms sells 15 gross of eggs a week and packages them in one dozen egg containers, how many containers do they need for a week’s worth of eggs?

• A. 15
• B. 150
• C. 180
• D. 2,160

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Given that a gross is equal to 12 dozen, 15 gross of eggs would be equal to 15 * 12 = 180 dozen eggs. Since the eggs are packaged in one dozen egg containers, Lanyard Farms would need 180 containers for a week's worth of eggs. Choice A (15) is incorrect as it represents the number of gross, not containers. Choice B (150) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of containers needed. Choice D (2,160) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of containers required.

4. If he left a tip of $36 on a total bill of $200, what percentage of the total bill did he leave as a tip?

• A. 16%
• B. 18%
• C. 20%
• D. 22%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the tip percentage left, divide the tip amount ($36) by the total bill amount ($200), then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: (36/200) x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he left an 18% tip on the total bill amount. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because the correct calculation results in 18%. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (22%) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage based on the provided numbers.

5. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 5 meters?

• A. 15 meters
• B. 20 meters
• C. 25 meters
• D. 30 meters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The formula to calculate the perimeter of a square is P = 4s, where P is the perimeter and s is the length of a side. Given that the side length is 5 meters, the perimeter is 4 * 5 = 20 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A (15 meters), C (25 meters), and D (30 meters) are incorrect as they do not correctly apply the formula to calculate the perimeter of a square.
