1. What is 54% of $789.56?

• A. $426.36
• B. $426.37
• C. $363.20
• D. $526.38

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate 54% of $789.56, you multiply 0.54 by 789.56, which equals $426.36. Therefore, choice A, $426.36, is the correct answer. Choice B, $426.37, is incorrect as it is a slightly higher value. Choice C, $363.20, is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct answer. Choice D, $526.38, is incorrect as it is higher than the correct calculation result.

2. A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?

• A. 10cm
• B. 13cm
• C. 40cm^2
• D. 64cm^2

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length of the bandage is 8cm and the width is 5cm. Area = length x width Area = 8cm x 5cm Area = 40cm^2 Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 40cm^2.

3. Three nurses worked 8-hour shifts. Nurse 1 monitored 6 patients during her shift. Nurse 2 monitored 8 patients, and Nurse 3 monitored 12 patients. How many patients were monitored in total?

• A. 26 patients
• B. 24 patients
• C. 20 patients
• D. 23 patients

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total number of patients monitored, add the patients monitored by each nurse: 6 (Nurse 1) + 8 (Nurse 2) + 12 (Nurse 3) = 26 patients. Therefore, the correct answer is 26 patients. Choice B (24 patients), Choice C (20 patients), and Choice D (23 patients) are incorrect as they do not correctly sum up the patients monitored by each nurse.

4. 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.

5. What is 33% of 300?

• A. 3
• B. 9
• C. 33
• D. 99

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 33% of 300, you multiply 300 by 0.33 (which is the decimal equivalent of 33%). 300 * 0.33 = 99. Therefore, 33% of 300 equals 99. Choice A (3) is incorrect as it is too small for 33% of 300. Choice B (9) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation for finding 33% of 300. Choice C (33) is incorrect as it represents the percentage value itself, not the result of calculating 33% of 300.
