1. What is 25% of 200?

• A. 50
• B. 60
• C. 25
• D. 30

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find 25% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.25. So, to calculate 25% of 200, you do 0.25 × 200 = 50. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (60) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 30% of 200. Choice C (25) is incorrect as it represents 12.5% of 200. Choice D (30) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 15% of 200.

2. A worker's schedule is written in military time, and shows their shift is from 1500 to 0100. When will they get off work?

• A. A little bit after midnight
• B. 1:00 AM
• C. 3:00 AM
• D. 12:30 AM

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.

3. How many pints are in 56 ounces?

• A. 3
• B. 3.5
• C. 7
• D. 8

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find out how many pints are in 56 ounces, you need to divide 56 by 16 (as there are 16 ounces in a pint). This results in 3.5 pints, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the conversion from ounces to pints.

4. Simplify the expression: -5 + (-8)

• A. -13
• B. 8
• C. 13
• D. -5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When adding two negative numbers, you add their absolute values and keep the negative sign. In this case, -5 + (-8) is equal to -13 because the absolute values of 5 and 8 add up to 13, and the negative sign is retained. Choice B (8) is incorrect because adding two negative numbers results in a negative sum. Choice C (13) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the negative signs of the numbers being added. Choice D (-5) is incorrect because it does not account for the addition of the two negative numbers.

5. In his stamp collection, Bruno has 15 more stamps from Europe than from Africa, and 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa. If he has 27 stamps from Europe, how many Asian stamps does he have?

• A. 12
• B. 22
• C. 30
• D. 40

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since Bruno has 27 stamps from Europe, which is 15 more than from Africa, he must have 27 - 15 = 12 stamps from Africa. Since he also has 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa, he must have 12 + 18 = 30 stamps from Asia. Therefore, Bruno has 30 Asian stamps. Choice A (12) is the number of stamps Bruno has from Africa, not Asia. Choices B (22) and D (40) are not derived from the correct calculations based on the given information.
