1. How many grams of carbohydrates are in a product if it contains 4 servings, and each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates?

• A. 32 grams
• B. 28 grams
• C. 24 grams
• D. 20 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total grams of carbohydrates in the product, you multiply the number of servings by the grams of carbohydrates per serving. Given that each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates and there are 4 servings, the total would be 4 servings * 8 grams = 32 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total grams of carbohydrates based on the information provided.

2. 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.

3. Subtract: 15.7 - 9.8 =

• A. 6.1
• B. 8.96
• C. 5.9
• D. 4.30

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the difference between 15.7 and 9.8, you need to subtract 9.8 from 15.7. This operation results in 5.9. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.9. Choice A, 6.1, is incorrect as it represents the result of subtracting 9.8 from 15.9, not 15.7. Choice B, 8.96, is also incorrect as it is not the correct result of the subtraction provided. Choice D, 4.30, is incorrect as well, as it is not the result of subtracting 9.8 from 15.7.

4. If a person wants to plant 65,536 trees so that the number of rows equals the number of trees in each row, how many trees should they plant in each row?

• A. 1684
• B. 1268
• C. 668
• D. 256

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To plant 65,536 trees with the same number of rows and trees in each row, you need to calculate the square root of 65,536. The square root of 65,536 is 256. Therefore, planting 256 trees in each row would result in 256 rows with 256 trees in each row, totaling 65,536 trees. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not provide the correct calculation based on the requirements of the question.

5. Stu purchased a set of 6 cups and 6 plates at a garage sale. The cups were 25 cents each, and the plates were 75 cents each. If Stu paid with a $10 bill, how much change was he owed?

• A. $4
• B. $4.50
• C. $5
• D. $5.50

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Stu purchased 6 cups at 25 cents each, totaling $1.50 (6 cups x $0.25 = $1.50). He also bought 6 plates at 75 cents each, totaling $4.50 (6 plates x $0.75 = $4.50). Therefore, the total cost of the cups and plates is $1.50 + $4.50 = $6. Stu paid with a $10 bill, so the change he was owed is $10 - $6 = $4. Stu was owed $4 in change. The correct answer is $5, not $4 as he was owed that amount. Option A, $4, is incorrect as it miscalculates the change amount. Option B, $4.50, is incorrect as it does not consider the correct total cost. Option D, $5.50, is incorrect as it overestimates the change Stu was owed.
