1. After putting â…“ aside for her share of rent and utilities and spending $75 on groceries, what is left from her weekly paycheck?

• A. $150
• B. $214.86
• C. $204.26
• D. $192.76

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If she puts aside 1/3 of her paycheck for rent and utilities, this means she spends 3 portions in total. So, 1 portion represents 1/3 of the paycheck. Since she spends $75 on groceries, it leaves 2 portions. The total amount of 3 portions is the paycheck. To find out one portion, divide the total paycheck by 3: Paycheck = 3 portions. $75 is one portion. Multiply the one portion by 3 to find the total paycheck: $75 * 3 = $225. Subtract the spent amount from the weekly paycheck: $225 - $75 = $150. Therefore, the amount left from her weekly paycheck is $150. The other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation based on the given information.

2. Convert this military time to regular time: 0705 hours.

• A. 7:05 A.M.
• B. 7:05 P.M.
• C. 5:07 A.M.
• D. 5:07 P.M.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In military time, 0705 hours translates to 7:05 A.M. Military time follows a 24-hour clock format, so there is no change from A.M. to P.M. like in regular time. Choice B (7:05 P.M.) is incorrect as 0705 hours is in the morning. Choices C (5:07 A.M.) and D (5:07 P.M.) are incorrect due to the incorrect order of hours and minutes.

3. If the ratio and proportion 15:2000=x:200, what is the value of x?

• A. 7
• B. 0
• C. 7,777
• D. 1

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the value of x in the given ratio and proportion, we can set up the equation as 15:2000=x:200. Cross multiply to get x * 2000 = 15 * 200. Simplifying this gives x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which is 1. Choice A (7), Choice B (0), and Choice C (7,777) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation of x.

4. Later he spends $20 on bus tokens. How much is left from his original $100?

• A. $49.30
• B. $69.30
• C. $79.30
• D. $89.30

Correct answer: D

Rationale: If he spends $20 on bus tokens from his original $100, then the amount left is $100 - $20 = $80. The remaining 90% of $80 is calculated as $80 + 0.90 * $80 = $80 + $72 = $89.30. Therefore, the correct answer is $89.30. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation of the remaining amount after spending $20.

5. How many kilometers is equivalent to 200 meters?

• A. 50 kilometers
• B. 20 kilometers
• C. 12 kilometers
• D. 0.2 kilometers

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to kilometers, divide the number of meters by 1000, as 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Therefore, 200 meters is equivalent to 200 / 1000 = 0.2 kilometers. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert meters to kilometers. A provides an answer that would be correct if converting from kilometers to meters. B and C are much larger distances than what 200 meters represent.
