1. Simplify the following expression: 7 + 16 - (5 + 6 × 3) - 10 × 2

• A. -42
• B. -20
• C. 23
• D. 20

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Start by solving the multiplication and parentheses. The answer is -20.

2. Which of the following is the correct decimal placement for the product of 1.6 * 0.93?

• A. 14.88
• B. 0.1488
• C. 1.488
• D. 0.001488

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the product of 1.6 * 0.93, you multiply these two numbers to get 1.488. Therefore, the correct decimal placement for the product is 1.488. Choice A, 14.88, is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal two spots to the right. Choice B, 0.1488, is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal one spot to the right. Choice D, 0.001488, is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal three spots to the right.

3. What is the range in the number of flights the flight attendant made?

• A. 20
• B. 25
• C. 29
• D. 32

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The range is calculated as the difference between the largest and smallest values in a dataset. In this case, the largest number of flights made by the flight attendant in a month was 79, and the smallest number was 54. Therefore, the range is 79 - 54 = 25. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of the range based on the given data.

4. Which statement about multiplication and division is true?

• A. The product of the quotient and the dividend is the divisor.
• B. The product of the dividend and the divisor is the quotient.
• C. The product of the quotient and the divisor is the dividend.
• D. None of the above.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In division, the dividend is the number being divided, the divisor is the number you are dividing by, and the quotient is the result. Multiplying the quotient by the divisor gives the original dividend. This is the reverse of the division operation. Therefore, the correct statement is that the product of the quotient and the divisor equals the dividend, making option C correct. Choices A and B provide incorrect relationships between the terms dividend, divisor, quotient, and product, making them inaccurate. Option D is a general statement that does not provide the correct relationship between multiplication and division terms.

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.
