1. If he left a tip of $36 on a total bill of $200, what percentage of the total bill did he leave as a tip?

• A. 16%
• B. 18%
• C. 20%
• D. 22%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the tip percentage left, divide the tip amount ($36) by the total bill amount ($200), then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: (36/200) x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he left an 18% tip on the total bill amount. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because the correct calculation results in 18%. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (22%) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage based on the provided numbers.

2. If Mr. Johnson gives half of his pay to his family, $250 to his landlord, and has exactly 3/7 of his pay left over, how much pay does he receive?

• A. $3,600
• B. $3,500
• C. $2,800
• D. $1,750

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Let Mr. Johnson's pay be represented as x. After giving half of his pay to his family, he has x/2 left. Subtracting $250 paid to his landlord, he has x/2 - $250 remaining. Given that this remaining amount is 3/7 of his original pay, the equation becomes x/2 - $250 = 3x/7. Solving this equation shows that x = $3,500. Therefore, Mr. Johnson receives $3,500. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculation based on the given conditions in the question.

3. How many liters are in 300 milliliters?

• A. 0.03 liters
• B. 3 liters
• C. 0.3 liters
• D. 0.003 liters

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 300 milliliters ÷ 1000 = 0.3 liters. Choice A, 0.03 liters, is the result of dividing by 10 instead of 1000. Choice B, 3 liters, is the result of multiplying instead of dividing. Choice D, 0.003 liters, is the result of dividing by 1000 twice, which is incorrect.

4. A medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon. What is the equivalent dosage in milliliters (1 teaspoon = 5ml)?

• A. 1.25ml
• B. 2.5ml
• C. 3.75ml
• D. 5ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Given that 1 teaspoon is equal to 5ml, and the medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon, we need to find half of 5ml. 1/2 of 5ml = 5ml / 2 = 2.5ml Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milliliters for 1/2 teaspoon is 2.5ml.

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.
