1. What number is 20 equal to 40% of?

• A. 50
• B. 8
• C. 200
• D. 5000

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number that 20 is equal to 40% of, you can set up the equation: 20 = 0.4 * x, where x is the unknown number. To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.4. This gives x = 20 / 0.4 = 50. Therefore, 20 is 40% of 50. Choice B, 8, is incorrect because 20 is not equal to 40% of 8. Choice C, 200, is incorrect because 20 is not equal to 40% of 200. Choice D, 5000, is incorrect because 20 is not equal to 40% of 5000. The correct answer is 50.

2. Arrange the following fractions from least to greatest: 2/3, 1/2, 5/8, 7/9.

• A. 7/9, 5/8, 2/3, 1/2
• B. 1/2, 2/3, 5/8, 7/9
• C. 1/2, 5/8, 2/3, 7/9
• D. 7/9, 2/3, 5/8, 1/2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To compare the fractions, it is beneficial to convert them to decimals or find a common denominator. When converted to decimals: 1/2 = 0.50, 5/8 = 0.625, 2/3 ≈ 0.666, and 7/9 ≈ 0.778. Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is 1/2, 5/8, 2/3, 7/9. Choice A is incorrect because it places 7/9 first, which is the greatest fraction. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly lists the fractions. Choice D is incorrect as it starts with 7/9, which is the largest fraction instead of the smallest.

3. Futuristic Furniture gave the man two choices: pay the entire amount in one payment with cash, or pay $1000 as a down payment and $120 per month for two full years in the financing plan. If the man chooses the financing plan, how much more would he pay?

• A. $1480 more
• B. $1280 more
• C. $1600 more
• D. $2480 more

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If the man chooses the financing plan, he pays $1000 as a down payment initially. Over the two-year period, he will be paying $120 per month for a total of 24 months, which amounts to $120 x 24 = $2880. Therefore, the total amount he pays for the furniture through the financing plan is $1000 (down payment) + $2880 (monthly payments) = $3880. Comparing this total with the entire amount paid in one payment with cash would be $3880 - $3000 = $880 more. So, the man would pay $880 more if he chooses the financing plan. Therefore, the correct answer is $1280 more, not $1480, $1600, or $2480. These amounts do not accurately represent the additional cost incurred by choosing the financing plan.

4. Andy has already saved $15. He plans to save $28 per month. Which of the following equations represents the amount of money he will have saved?

• A. y = 15 + 28x
• B. y = 43x + 15
• C. y = 43x
• D. y = 28 + 15x

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct equation to represent the amount of money Andy will have saved is y = 15 + 28x. This is because Andy has already saved $15 and plans to save an additional $28 per month. Therefore, the total amount he will have saved can be calculated by adding the initial $15 to the monthly savings of $28 (28x), resulting in y = 15 + 28x. Choices B, C, and D do not correctly account for the initial $15 that Andy has saved and therefore do not represent the total amount correctly.

5. What are all the factors of 12?

• A. 12, 24, 36
• B. 1, 2, 4, 6, 12
• C. 12, 24, 36, 48
• D. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The factors of 12 are numbers that divide evenly into 12 without leaving a remainder. The correct factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Choice A (12, 24, 36) is incorrect as only 12 is a factor of 12. Choice B (1, 2, 4, 6, 12) includes all the correct factors of 12. Choice C (12, 24, 36, 48) is incorrect as 24, 36, and 48 are not factors of 12.
