1. The price dropped from $200 to $150. By what percentage did the price decrease?

• A. 5%
• B. 10%
• C. 20%
• D. 25%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The difference between the original price ($200) and the new price ($150) is $50. To find the percentage decrease, divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100: ($50 / $200) × 100 = 25%. Therefore, the correct answer is D, meaning the price decreased by 25%. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the percentage decrease in price.

2. Subtract 32 divided by 8\9.

• A. 36
• B. 32
• C. 40
• D. 44

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 32 ÷ (8\9) is the same as 32 × (9\8) = 36.

3. What is 7 1/8 + 2 4/12 equal to?

• A. 9 11/24
• B. 10 1/3
• C. 8 3/8
• D. 7 7/24

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add mixed numbers, first convert the fractions to a common denominator. The least common denominator between 8 and 12 is 24. Converting 7 1/8 to 7 3/24 (since 1/8 = 3/24) and 2 4/12 to 2 8/24 (since 4/12 = 8/24), we can add the whole numbers separately to get 9. Then, adding the fractions 3/24 and 8/24 gives 11/24. Therefore, 7 1/8 + 2 4/12 equals 9 11/24. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct addition of mixed numbers with the appropriate conversion of fractions.

4. A clinic sees an average of 25 patients every 4 hours. If the clinic is open for 8 hours, how many patients will they see in total?

• A. 35
• B. 50
• C. 75
• D. 200

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. First, determine how many patients the clinic sees in one hour: 25 patients / 4 hours = 6.25 patients per hour (approximately 6 patients per hour) 2. Since the clinic is open for 8 hours, multiply the number of patients seen per hour by the number of hours the clinic is open: 6.25 patients/hour * 8 hours = 50 patients 3. Therefore, the clinic will see a total of 50 patients in 8 hours, which corresponds to answer choice D) 200.

5. How many feet are in 2 miles?

• A. 5280 feet
• B. 15840 feet
• C. 10560 feet
• D. 10200 feet

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert miles to feet, multiply the number of miles by the conversion factor of feet per mile. Since there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, to find the number of feet in 2 miles, you multiply 2 by 5280, resulting in 10560 feet. Choice A, 5280 feet, is the conversion factor for 1 mile, not for 2 miles. Choices B and D are incorrect calculations that do not follow the conversion factor correctly.
