1. 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.

2. Gerald can bake 3 dozen cookies in 30 minutes. How long will it take him to bake 12 dozen cookies?

• A. 90 minutes
• B. 1 hour 40 minutes
• C. 2 hours
• D. 4 hours

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If Gerald can bake 3 dozen cookies in 30 minutes, then he can bake 1 dozen cookies in 10 minutes (30 minutes / 3 = 10 minutes). To bake 12 dozen cookies, it would take him 120 minutes (12 dozen x 10 minutes = 120 minutes), which is equivalent to 1 hour and 40 minutes. Choice A (90 minutes) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct proportion of cookies baked. Choice C (2 hours) and Choice D (4 hours) are incorrect as they overestimate the time required based on the given information.

3. 15\25 + 42\52 = ?

• A. 1 3/10
• B. 1 1/10
• C. 1\10\2024
• D. 3\10\2024

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 15\25 + 42\52 simplifies to 1 3\10.

4. A man is reading a book with 798 pages. If he reads 2 chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages, how many days will it take him to finish the book?

• A. 133 days
• B. 399 days
• C. 66.5 days
• D. 75 days

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the total number of chapters, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages per chapter: 798 ÷ 6 = 133 chapters. Reading 2 chapters per day means it will take 133 ÷ 2 = 66.5 days. Choice A, 133 days, is incorrect because it miscalculates the days needed to finish the book. Choice B, 399 days, is incorrect as it doesn't consider the number of chapters read per day. Choice D, 75 days, is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total number of chapters in the book.

5. Add 2\3 + 1\6 + 2\5.

• A. 1 & 7\30
• B. 1 & 1\15
• C. 2\5
• D. 3\4

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, find a common denominator (30), which gives 20/30 + 5/30 + 12/30=37/30= 1 7/30
