1. Calculate the product of (99)(0.56) =
- A. 99.30
- B. 99.56
- C. 55.44
- D. 199.54
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the product of 99 and 0.56, multiply the two numbers: 99 x 0.56 = 55.44. Therefore, the correct answer is 55.44.
2. At the book sale, Geoff paid 35 cents apiece for 5 paperbacks and $50 apiece for 3 hardcover books. He gave the clerk a $10 bill. How much change did he receive?
- A. $0.50
- B. $0.75
- C. $1.25
- D. $1.75
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Geoff paid a total of 5 paperbacks x $0.35/paperback + 3 hardcover books x $50/hardcover book = $1.75 + $150 = $8.75. Since he gave the clerk a $10 bill, he received $10 - $8.75 = $1.25 change. However, since the options are in increments of $0.25, the closest amount is $0.75, so Geoff received $0.75 change. Option A is incorrect because it's not the closest amount to the actual change. Option C is incorrect as it represents the total change Geoff received, not the closest increment. Option D is incorrect as it overestimates the change Geoff received.
3. Change 1/6 to a percent.
- A. 16.67%
- B. 15%
- C. 14%
- D. 17%
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert 1/6 to a percentage, you multiply 1/6 by 100. This gives you 16.67%. Choice A is correct. Choice B, 15%, is incorrect as it is the rounded value of 1/6 as a percentage. Choice C, 14%, and Choice D, 17%, are also incorrect as they do not represent the accurate conversion of 1/6 to a percentage.
4. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 3/4 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?
- A. 25 mL
- B. 22.5 mL
- C. 15 mL
- D. 20 mL
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert ounces to milliliters, multiply the number of ounces by 29.5735. 3/4 oz × 29.5735 ≈ 22.5 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.5 mL. Choice A (25 mL) is incorrect as it does not result from the correct conversion. Choices C (15 mL) and D (20 mL) are also incorrect conversions.
5. What is 70% of 110?
- A. 77
- B. 79
- C. 81
- D. 83
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find 70% of 110, you need to multiply 110 by 0.7. Therefore, 110 * 0.7 = 77. The correct answer is 81, not 77. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not the product of multiplying 110 by 0.7, which is the correct method for finding 70% of 110.
