1. What is 31% of 426?
- A. 425.69
- B. 132.06
- C. 13.7
- D. 0.07
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find 31% of 426, multiply 0.31 by 426. This gives 0.31 × 426 = 132.06. Therefore, choice B, 132.06, is the correct answer. Choice A, 425.69, is close to the original number but is not the correct answer for the percentage calculation. Choice C, 13.7, is not the correct result for 31% of 426. Choice D, 0.07, is significantly lower than the correct answer and does not represent 31% of 426.
2. Solve the system of equations. Equation 1: 2x + y = 0 Equation 2: x - 2y = 8
- A. (1.8, 3.6) and (-1.8, -3.6)
- B. (1.8, -3.6) and (-1.8, 3.6)
- C. (1.3, 2.6) and (-1.3, -2.6)
- D. (-1.3, 2.6) and (1.3, -2.6)
Correct answer: B
Rationale: From Equation 1: 2x + y = 0. Solve for y: y = -2x. Substitute y = -2x into Equation 2: x - 2(-2x) = 8. Simplify to x + 4x = 8, then 5x = 8, and x = 8 ÷ 5 = 1.6. Substitute x = 1.6 back into y = -2x to find y = -3.2. Therefore, one solution is (1.6, -3.2). To find the second solution, use -1.6 for x to get (-1.6, 3.2). Thus, the correct answer is B, representing the solutions (1.8, -3.6) and (-1.8, 3.6). Choices A, C, and D contain incorrect values that do not match the solutions derived from solving the system of equations.
3. Which of the following describes a proportional relationship?
- A. Johnathan opens a savings account with an initial deposit of $150 and deposits $125 per month
- B. Bruce pays his employees $12 per hour worked during the month of December, as well as a $250 bonus
- C. Alvin pays $28 per month for his phone service plus $0.07 for each long-distance minute used
- D. Kevin drives 65 miles per hour
Correct answer: A
Rationale: A proportional relationship is one in which two quantities vary directly with each other. In choice A, the amount deposited per month is directly proportional to the initial deposit. The relationship can be represented as y = 125x + 150, where x is the number of months and y is the total amount in the account. Choices B and C involve additional fixed amounts or variable costs that do not maintain a constant ratio, making them non-proportional relationships. Choice D refers to a constant speed of driving, which is not a proportional relationship as it does not involve varying quantities that change in direct proportion.
4. A homeowner has hired two people to mow his lawn. If person A is able to mow the lawn in 2 hours by herself and person B is able to mow the lawn in 3 hours by himself, what is the amount of time it would take for both person A and B to mow the lawn together?
- A. 5 hours
- B. 2.5 hours
- C. 1.2 hours
- D. 1 hour
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the combined work rate, you add the individual work rates: 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6. This means that together, they can mow 5/6 of the lawn per hour. To determine how long it would take for both A and B to mow the entire lawn, you take the reciprocal of 5/6, which gives you 6/5 or 1.2 hours. Therefore, it would take 1.2 hours for person A and person B to mow the lawn together. Choice A (5 hours) is incorrect because it does not consider the combined efficiency of both workers. Choice B (2.5 hours) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation based on the combined work rates of the two individuals. Choice D (1 hour) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the fact that the combined rate is less than the individual rate of person A alone, thus taking longer than 1 hour.
5. Which of the following is NOT a way to write 40 percent of N?
- A. 0.4N
- B. N/40
- C. 2/5 N
- D. 40N/100
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: N/40. To find 40% of N, you multiply N by 0.4, so 0.4N is the correct representation. Choice B, N/40, is incorrect because dividing N by 40 does not give you 40% of N. Choice C, 2/5 N, is equivalent to 40% of N since 2/5 is the same as 40% when simplified. Choice D, 40N/100, is also correct since 40% can be represented as 40/100, which simplifies to 0.4, making 40N/100 another valid way to write 40% of N.
