1. Veronica decided to celebrate her promotion by purchasing a new car. The base price for the car was $40,210. She paid an additional $3,015 for a surround sound system and $5,218 for a maintenance package. What was the total price of Veronica's new car?

• A. $50,210
• B. $48,443
• C. $43,225
• D. $40,210

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the total cost of Veronica's new car, you need to sum up all her expenses. So, $40,210 (base price) + $3,015 (surround sound system) + $5,218 (maintenance package) = $48,443. Therefore, the correct answer is $48,443. Choice A ($50,210) is incorrect as it incorrectly adds the base price to the other costs. Choice C ($43,225) is incorrect as it only includes the base price and the maintenance package, omitting the cost of the surround sound system. Choice D ($40,210) is incorrect as it only includes the base price of the car and not the additional costs for the surround sound system and maintenance package.

2. What is the formula to find the circumference of a circle?

• A. Circumference = 2πr
• B. Circumference = πr²
• C. Circumference = 2r²
• D. Circumference = r²π

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct formula to find the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C represents the circumference and r is the radius of the circle. Choice B, Circumference = πr², represents the formula for the area of a circle rather than the circumference. Choice C, Circumference = 2r², is incorrect as it does not involve π in the formula. Choice D, Circumference = r²π, has the terms reversed compared to the correct formula; the formula should start with the constant (2) multiplied by π, followed by the radius.

3. If Mom's car drove 72 miles in 90 minutes, how fast did she drive in feet per second?

• A. 0.8 feet per second
• B. 48.9 feet per second
• C. 0.009 feet per second
• D. 70.4 feet per second

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert miles per hour to feet per second, first convert time to hours: 90 minutes = 1.5 hours. Then, calculate the speed in miles per hour: 72 miles in 1.5 hours = 48 mph. Finally, convert mph to feet per second using the conversion factor 1 mph = 1.47 feet per second: 48 mph * 1.47 = 70.4 feet per second. Therefore, the correct answer is 70.4 feet per second. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion from miles per hour to feet per second.

4. Jacob has $100. She spends 87% of the money. She then invests the remaining amount and earns a profit of 75%. How much money does she now have?

• A. $13.00
• B. $87.00
• C. $22.75
• D. $9.75

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Jacob spends 87% of $100, which is $87, leaving her with $13. When she invests the remaining $13 and earns a 75% profit, she gains an additional $9.75. Thus, the total amount she now has is $13 (remaining amount) + $9.75 (profit) = $22.75. Choice A is incorrect as it reflects the remaining amount before investing and earning a profit. Choice B is incorrect as it does not account for the profit earned from the investment. Choice D is incorrect as it only considers the profit amount, not the total sum.

5. Which of the following options correctly orders the numbers below from least to greatest? 235.971, 145.884, -271.906, -193.823

• A. -271.906, -193.823, 145.884, 235.971
• B. -271.906, 235.971, -193.823, 145.884
• C. 145.884, -193.823, 235.971, -271.906
• D. -193.823, -271.906, 145.884, 235.971

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To correctly order the numbers from least to greatest, we start with the smallest number, which is -271.906, followed by -193.823, 145.884, and finally 235.971. Therefore, the correct order is -271.906, -193.823, 145.884, 235.971. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly places 235.971 before -193.823. Choice C is incorrect as it starts with the largest number, 145.884. Choice D is incorrect as it starts with -193.823, which is not the smallest number in the list.
