1. Round to the nearest whole number. Change the fraction to a percent: 17/80 =

• A. 20%
• B. 21%
• C. 22%
• D. 23%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 17/80 to a percent, we divide 17 by 80 to get 0.2125. Multiplying by 100, we get 21.25%. Rounding to the nearest whole number, 21.25% becomes 21%. Choice A (20%) is incorrect because rounding 21.25% down to the nearest whole number gives 21%. Choice C (22%) is incorrect as it is the next whole number after 21. Choice D (23%) is incorrect as it is more than 21.25% and thus rounds up to 22%.

2. A farmer buys 3 bags of feed weighing 50 kilograms each. How much feed does he have in total?

• A. 100 kilograms
• B. 150 kilograms
• C. 200 kilograms
• D. 250 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 150 kilograms. To find the total amount of feed, you need to multiply the number of bags by the weight of each bag. In this case, 3 bags * 50 kilograms each = 150 kilograms. Therefore, the farmer has a total of 150 kilograms of feed. Choice A (100 kilograms) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the total weight of all 3 bags. Choice C (200 kilograms) and Choice D (250 kilograms) are incorrect as they are miscalculations of the total weight of the feed.

3. What is the result of dividing 3 by 4?

• A. 5.75
• B. 5.875
• C. 6.25
• D. 0.75

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide 3 by 4, we perform the division operation: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. The correct answer is 0.75 (D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from dividing 3 by 4. Choice A (5.75) is the result of dividing 23 by 4, choice B (5.875) is the result of dividing 7 by 1.2, and choice C (6.25) is the result of multiplying 5 by 1.25.

4. After spending $75.64 at one store and $22.43 at the next store, how much money does the shopper have left if they started with $100.00?

• A. $1.93
• B. $5.00
• C. $0.72
• D. $20.13

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much money the shopper has left, add the amounts spent: $75.64 + $22.43 = $98.07. Then, subtract the total spent from the starting amount: $100.00 - $98.07 = $1.93 left. Therefore, choice A, $1.93, is the correct answer. Choice B, $5.00, is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C, $0.72, is incorrect as it does not consider the total amount spent. Choice D, $20.13, is incorrect because it does not reflect the remaining amount after the expenses.

5. A train leaves the station at 1:45 PM traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph. If it arrives at its destination at 3:15 PM, how many miles did it travel?

• A. 97.5 miles
• B. 100 miles
• C. 95 miles
• D. 105 miles

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled by the train, multiply the speed (65 mph) by the time it took to reach the destination, which is 1.5 hours (3:15 PM - 1:45 PM = 1.5 hours). Therefore, 65 mph × 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. This calculation is correct because distance = speed × time. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.
