1. What is 35% of 70?

• A. 17.5
• B. 24.5
• C. 35
• D. 50

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find 35% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.35. In this case, 35% of 70 is calculated as 70 x 0.35 = 24.5. Choice A (17.5) is incorrect because it represents 25% of 70. Choice C (35) is incorrect as it is the percentage itself, not the result of the calculation. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it does not represent the result of finding 35% of 70.

2. 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.

3. A baker can bake 4 cakes with 10 cups of sugar. If he has a 30-cup bag that is half full, how many cakes can he bake?

• A. 6 cakes
• B. 5 cakes
• C. 7 cakes
• D. 8 cakes

Correct answer: A

Rationale: If the 30-cup bag is half full, it contains 15 cups of sugar. Since 10 cups are needed to bake 4 cakes, the baker can bake 4 * (15 / 10) = 6 cakes. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 cakes. Choice B, 5 cakes, is incorrect as it does not consider the correct sugar-to-cake ratio. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the number of cakes based on the available sugar.

4. What is the volume of a birthday party hat with a cone-shaped top having a radius of 5cm and a height of 12cm?

• A. 60 cu cm
• B. 120 cu cm
• C. 150 cu cm
• D. 180 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of a cone, we use the formula: (1/3) * π * (radius)^2 * height. Substituting the given values: (1/3) * π * (5cm)^2 * 12cm = 150 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation using the formula for the volume of a cone.

5. What is the area of a rectangular room with a length of 12 meters and a width of 10 meters?

• A. 120 square meters
• B. 130 square meters
• C. 140 square meters
• D. 100 square meters

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 120 square meters. To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is 12 meters and the width is 10 meters. Therefore, the area of the room is 12m * 10m = 120 square meters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the area of the room based on its dimensions.
