1. Margery is planning a vacation, and her round-trip airfare will cost $572. Her hotel costs $89 per night, and she will be staying at the hotel for five nights. She has allotted a total of $150 for sightseeing and expects to spend about $250 on meals. She will receive a 10% discount on the hotel price after the first night. What is the total amount Margery expects to spend on her vacation?

• A. $1,328.35
• B. $1,373.50
• C. $1,381.40
• D. $1,417.60

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate Margery's total expenses: Airfare ($572) + Hotel ($89 * 5 nights) = $572 + $445 = $1017. After the first night's stay, Margery receives a 10% discount on the remaining four nights, making the total hotel cost $445 - (10% of $89) = $445 - $8.90 = $436.10. Adding sightseeing ($150) and meals ($250) to the total gives $1017 + $150 + $250 = $1417. Margery's expected expenses are $1417, not $1381.40 as stated in the original rationale. Therefore, the correct answer is $1,417.60 (Option D).

2. Complete the following equation: x + x * x - x / x = ?

• A. 5
• B. 3
• C. 2
• D. 1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation x + x * x - x / x, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, perform the multiplication: x * x = x^2. Then, perform the division: x / x = 1. Substituting these back into the equation gives x + x^2 - 1. Therefore, the equation simplifies to x + x^2 - 1. By evaluating this further, the final result is 3. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the order of operations to solve the equation.

3. Curtis is taking a road trip through Germany, where all distance signs are in metric. He passes a sign that states the city of Dusseldorf is 45 kilometers away. Approximately how far is this in miles?

• A. 42 miles
• B. 37 miles
• C. 28 miles
• D. 16 miles

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilometers to miles, you can use the conversion factor of approximately 0.62 miles per kilometer. Therefore, 45 kilometers × 0.62 miles/kilometer = 27.9 miles, which is approximately 28 miles away. Choice A (42 miles), Choice B (37 miles), and Choice D (16 miles) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from kilometers to miles.

4. What is the value of the sum of 0.75 and 0.625?

• A. 0.875
• B. 1.375
• C. 1.625
• D. 0.125

Correct answer:

Rationale: Adding 0.75 and 0.625 gives: 0.75+0.625=1.375.

5. Bernard can make $80 per day. If he needs to make $300 and only works full days, how many days will this take?

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find out how many days Bernard needs to work to make $300, we divide the total amount he needs by how much he makes per day: $300 / $80 = 3.75 days. Since Bernard can only work full days, he would need to work for 4 days to make $300. Therefore, the correct answer is 4 days. Choice A (2 days) is incorrect because it does not match the calculation based on his daily earnings. Choice B (3 days) is incorrect as the calculated result is not a whole number, so Bernard needs to work for more than 3 days. Choice D (5 days) is incorrect as it exceeds the calculated number of days needed to make $300.
