1. One gallon of cleaning solution requires 6 oz of ammonia. If the maintenance department needs 230 gallons of solution to clean all of the floors, how much ammonia is needed?

• A. 1380 gallons
• B. 6900 gallons
• C. 1380 oz
• D. 1400 oz

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find out how much ammonia is needed for 230 gallons of cleaning solution, you multiply the amount of ammonia needed per gallon by the total gallons of solution required. Therefore, 230 gallons * 6 oz/gallon = 1380 oz of ammonia. Option A ('1380 gallons') and Option B ('6900 gallons') are incorrect as the question asks for the amount of ammonia needed, not the total volume of cleaning solution. Option D ('1400 oz') is incorrect as it does not correctly calculate the amount of ammonia required based on the given information.

2. In the town of Ellsford, there are approximately 1,450 residents who attend church weekly. If around 400 of them attend Catholic Churches, what percentage of churchgoers in Ellsford attends Catholic Churches?

• A. 23%
• B. 28%
• C. 36%
• D. 42%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of churchgoers who attend Catholic Churches, divide the number of Catholic churchgoers by the total number of churchgoers and then multiply by 100. (400 ÷ 1,450) × 100 ≈ 27.59%, which rounds to 28%.

3. Which is bigger, a mile or a kilometer? What's the conversion factor?

• A. Mile is bigger; 1 mile is 1.609 km
• B. Kilometer is bigger; 1 km is 1.609 miles
• C. Mile is bigger; 1 mile is 1.5 km
• D. Kilometer is bigger; 1 km is 2 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A mile is bigger than a kilometer. The correct conversion factor is 1 mile = 1.609 km. This means that one mile is equivalent to approximately 1.609 kilometers. Choice B is incorrect because a mile is bigger than a kilometer, and the conversion is not 1 km = 1.609 miles. Choice C is incorrect as the conversion factor provided is inaccurate; 1 mile is not equal to 1.5 km. Choice D is incorrect as it states that a kilometer is bigger, which is not true according to the actual conversion factor.

4. The owner of a newspaper has noticed that print subscriptions have gone down 40% while online subscriptions have gone up 60%. Print subscriptions once accounted for 70% of the newspaper’s business, and online subscriptions accounted for 25%. What is the overall percentage growth or decline in business?

• A. 13% decline
• B. 15% decline
• C. 28% growth
• D. 8% growth

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the decline in business, start with the 40% decline in the 70% share of print subscriptions: 40% of 70% = 0.40 × 0.70 = 0.28 = 28% decline. Next, calculate the growth from the 60% increase in the 25% share of online subscriptions: 60% of 25% = 0.60 × 0.25 = 0.15 = 15% growth. To find the overall change, sum the decline and growth percentages: 28% decline + 15% growth = -0.28 + 0.15 = -0.13 = 13% decline. Therefore, the overall percentage change in the newspaper's business is a 13% decline. Option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because it doesn't consider the correct calculations for both the decline and growth. Option C is incorrect as it misinterprets the net change in business. Option D is incorrect as it miscalculates the overall percentage growth or decline.

5. Chan receives a bonus from his job. He pays 30% in taxes, donates 30% to charity, and uses another 25% to pay off an old debt. He has $600 remaining. What was the total amount of Chan's bonus?

• A. $3,000
• B. $3,200
• C. $3,600
• D. $4,000

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Chan has used 30% + 30% + 25% = 85% of his bonus, which leaves 15% remaining. Since 15% of his bonus is $600, you can find the total bonus amount by dividing $600 by 15% (or multiplying by 100/15), which equals $4,000. Therefore, the correct answer is $4,000. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the total remaining amount after the specified deductions.
