1. 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.

2. The physician orders 60 mg of Augmentin; 80 mg/mL is on hand. How many milliliters will you give?

• A. 1 ml
• B. 0.5 ml
• C. 0.75 ml
• D. 1.25 ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume required, divide the prescribed dose (60 mg) by the concentration available (80 mg/mL): 60 mg ÷ 80 mg/mL = 0.75 mL. Therefore, 0.75 mL is the correct amount to administer. Choice A (1 ml) is incorrect as it does not consider the concentration of the solution. Choice B (0.5 ml) is incorrect as it is half the correct amount. Choice D (1.25 ml) is incorrect as it is more than the calculated correct amount.

3. If 3 books cost $4, how much will 6 books cost?

• A. $8
• B. $12
• C. $6
• D. $10

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the cost of 1 book, divide the total cost by the number of books: $4 / 3 = $1.33 per book. To determine the cost of 6 books, multiply the cost per book by 6: $1.33 * 6 = $8. Therefore, purchasing 6 books will cost $8. Choice B, $12, is incorrect as it incorrectly doubles the cost of 3 books. Choice C, $6, is incorrect as it is half the cost of 3 books. Choice D, $10, is incorrect as it does not accurately calculate the cost of 6 books based on the given information.

4. What is 25% of 400?

• A. 800
• B. 10,000
• C. 200
• D. 100

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 25% of a number, multiply the number by 0.25 (since 25% is the same as 25/100 or 0.25). In this case, 400 x 0.25 = 100. Therefore, 25% of 400 equals 100. Choice A, 800, is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying 400 by 2, not by 0.25. Choice B, 10,000, is also incorrect as it is significantly higher than the correct answer. Choice C, 200, is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 400 by 2, not by 0.25.

5. An office manager makes photocopies for the entire staff each day. At the end of the week, she finds that the photocopy machine has made a total of 3,475 copies. If 6 people used the copier and each person made the same number of copies, how many copies did each person make?

• A. 579 copies
• B. 680 copies
• C. 670 copies
• D. 585 copies

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many copies each person made, divide the total number of copies made (3,475) by the number of people who used the copier (6). This gives 579 copies per person (3,475 ÷ 6 = 579). Therefore, each person made 579 copies. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct division of the total number of copies by the number of people who used the copier.
