1. What is the sum of two odd numbers, two even numbers, and an odd number and an even number?
- A. Odd + Odd = Even; Even + Even = Even; Odd + Even = Odd
- B. Odd + Odd = Odd; Even + Even = Even; Odd + Even = Even
- C. Odd + Odd = Even; Even + Even = Odd; Odd + Even = Even
- D. Odd + Odd = Odd; Even + Even = Odd; Odd + Even = Even
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The sum of two odd numbers is even because odd numbers have a difference of 1 and adding them results in a multiple of 2. The sum of two even numbers is even because even numbers are multiples of 2. When an odd number and an even number are added, the result is odd because the even number contributes an extra 1 to the sum, making it an odd number. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D have incorrect combinations of the sum of odd and even numbers.
2. At a car dealership, employees earn a monthly base salary of $2,000 plus 3% commission on total sales. If an employee makes $5,000 in sales, what will their total monthly earnings be?
- A. $2,500
- B. $2,150
- C. $2,100
- D. $2,300
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the total monthly earnings, we first find the commission earned on $5,000 sales, which is 3% of $5,000 = $150. Adding this commission to the $2,000 base salary gives a total of $2,000 + $150 = $2,150. Therefore, the correct total monthly earnings are $2,500. Choice B ($2,150) is incorrect because it only includes the base salary and the commission but miscalculates the total. Choices C ($2,100) and D ($2,300) are also incorrect as they do not account for the correct calculation of the commission on sales.
3. Solve for x: 3(x + 4) = 18
- A. x = 2
- B. x = 4
- C. x = 6
- D. x = 8
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To solve the equation 3(x + 4) = 18, first distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses: 3x + 12 = 18. Next, isolate the variable x by subtracting 12 from both sides: 3x = 6. Finally, divide by 3 to solve for x, giving x = 6. Choice A, x = 2, is incorrect as the correct solution is x = 6. Choices B (x = 4) and D (x = 8) are also incorrect as they do not satisfy the given equation.
4. The cost of renting a car is $50 per day plus $0.25 per mile driven. If a customer rents the car for 3 days and drives 120 miles, what is the total cost?
- A. $156
- B. $190
- C. $165
- D. $210
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the total cost, first, multiply the number of days by the cost per day: 3 days x $50/day = $150. Then, multiply the number of miles driven by the cost per mile: 120 miles x $0.25 = $30. Finally, add the two amounts together: $150 (daily cost) + $30 (mileage cost) = $180. Therefore, the correct total cost is $180, which corresponds to choice A. The other choices are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation of $150 for the daily cost and $30 for the mileage cost.
5. In the problem 6 + 3 × 2, which operation should be completed first?
- A. Multiplication
- B. Addition
- C. Division
- D. Subtraction
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Multiplication.' According to the order of operations (PEMDAS), which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right), multiplication should be completed first. In the given expression, 3 × 2 should be solved before adding 6 to the result. This means that the multiplication operation should be prioritized over addition. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because, in the order of operations, multiplication takes precedence over addition, division, and subtraction, respectively.
