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 price of Veronica's new car, add the base price, the cost of the surround sound system, and the cost of the maintenance package. Calculation: $40,210 (base price) + $3,015 (sound system) + $5,218 (maintenance package) = $48,443. Therefore, the correct answer is $48,443. Choice A, $50,210, is incorrect as it does not include the maintenance package cost. Choice C, $43,225, is incorrect as it only considers the base price and the maintenance package but omits the sound system cost. Choice D, $40,210, is the base price alone and does not account for the additional costs of the sound system and maintenance package.

2. There are 80 mg in 0.8 mL of Acetaminophen Concentrated Infant Drops. If the proper dosage for a four-year-old child is 240 mg, how many milliliters should the child receive?

• A. 0.8 mL
• B. 1.6 mL
• C. 2.4 mL
• D. 3.2 mL

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find out how many milliliters the child should receive, divide the total required dosage of 240 mg by the concentration of the medication, which is 80 mg per 0.8 mL. 240 mg ÷ 80 mg/mL = 3 mL. Since each dose is 0.8 mL, the total dosage for the child would be 3 doses x 0.8 mL per dose = 2.4 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.4 mL. Choice A (0.8 mL) is the concentration of the medication, not the total dose. Choices B (1.6 mL) and D (3.2 mL) are incorrect calculations that do not consider the concentration of the medication and the total required dosage correctly.

3. A restaurant employs servers, hosts, and managers in a ratio of 9:2:1. If there are 36 total employees, what is the number of hosts at the restaurant?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 8

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of hosts in the restaurant, first, express the ratio algebraically as 9x + 2x + 1x = 36, where x represents the common factor. Combine like terms to get 12x = 36. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12 to get x = 3. To find the number of hosts, multiply the coefficient of hosts (2) by x, which equals 6. Therefore, there are 6 hosts at the restaurant. Choice A, 3, is incorrect as it represents the number of servers. Choices B and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the number of hosts based on the given ratio.

4. What is the equation that describes the relationship between x and y in the table below: x = 2, y = 6; x = 3, y = 9; x = 4, y = 12?

• A. y = 3x
• B. x = 3y
• C. y = x/3
• D. y = x + 3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is y = 3x. By examining the table provided, we can see that for each increase of 1 in x, y increases by 3. This consistent pattern indicates that y is three times the value of x, leading to the equation y = 3x. Choices B, C, and D do not match the pattern observed in the table and are therefore incorrect.

5. Which unit of measurement is larger, inches or centimeters?

• A. Inches are larger
• B. Centimeters are larger
• C. They are the same size
• D. It depends on the measurement

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Inches are larger than centimeters. This is because one inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters. Therefore, when comparing the two units, inches are greater in length than centimeters. Choice B is incorrect as centimeters are smaller than inches. Choice C is incorrect as inches and centimeters are not the same size. Choice D is incorrect as the relationship between inches and centimeters is fixed, with inches being larger in general.
