1. Donald earns 8% of the selling price of each house he sells. If he sells a house for $152,000, how much does he earn?

• A. $12,160
• B. $12,160
• C. $19,000
• D. $21,600

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate how much Donald earns from selling a house for $152,000 at an 8% commission rate, we multiply the selling price by the commission rate: $152,000 x 0.08 = $12,160. Therefore, he earns $12,160. Choice A, $12,160, is the correct answer as calculated. Choices C and D are incorrect amounts as they do not result from the given information. Choice C, $19,000, is significantly higher than the correct calculation, and choice D, $21,600, is the result of incorrectly adding the commission to the selling price instead of calculating the commission earned.

2. Express 0.608 as a percent.

• A. 60.8%
• B. 68%
• C. 0%
• D. 6%

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percentage sign. Therefore, 0.608 as a percent is 60.8%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (68%) is incorrect because it represents the percentage for a different decimal value. Choice C (0%) is incorrect as it represents 0 as a percentage, not 0.608. Choice D (6%) is incorrect as it also represents a different decimal value, not 0.608.

3. Edie has 132 tulip bulbs. She wants to plant all of the tulip bulbs in 12 rows. How many bulbs should she plant in each row?

• A. 11 bulbs
• B. 10 bulbs
• C. 12 bulbs
• D. 15 bulbs

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To plant 132 bulbs in 12 rows, Edie should plant 11 bulbs in each row. This is calculated by dividing the total number of bulbs by the number of rows: 132 bulbs ÷ 12 rows = 11 bulbs per row. Choice B, 10 bulbs, is incorrect because dividing 132 bulbs by 12 rows does not equal 10. Choice C, 12 bulbs, is incorrect because if Edie plants 12 bulbs in each row, the total number of bulbs planted would exceed 132. Choice D, 15 bulbs, is incorrect as dividing 132 bulbs by 12 rows does not result in 15 bulbs per row.

4. 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 shift from 1300 (1:00 PM) to 2000 (8:00 PM) corresponds to early afternoon to bedtime. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as this healthcare professional works during the early afternoon to bedtime hours. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the work hours fall within the early afternoon to evening time frame, not early morning, lunchtime, or midnight to sunrise.

5. How many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces?

• A. 4 gallons
• B. 5 gallons
• C. 6 gallons
• D. 3 gallons

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to know that there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon. To find how many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces, divide 576 by 128, which equals 4.5 gallons. Since we are looking for the closest whole number, the answer is 4 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.
