A) $10.50
B) $7.50
C) $7.00
D) $12.00
Answer:
A) $10.50
Explanation: 4 goes into 12, 3 times. This means that Krystal will need 3 boxes to feed 12 girls. So, 3 boxes x 3.50 = $10.50 Question 2: Abigail would like to purchase a new Kindle for $160. She has a coupon at Best Buy for 20% off. How much will the Kindle cost if she uses the coupon?
A) $32
B) $60
C) $110
D) $128
Answer:
D) $128
Explanation: $160 x .20 = $32 in savings. We then need to subtract the savings from the original price, so $160 - 32 = $128 for the Kindle.Question 3: Peter went to the hardware store with $10. He needs to purchase some light plate and outlet covers.
Here are the prices at the store:
Light plate covers: $0.75
Outlet plate covers: $1.25
He has enough money to purchase which set of items below?
- 7 light plate covers and 4 outlet plate covers
- 6 light plate covers and 6 outlet plate covers
- 6 light plate covers and 4 outlet plate covers
- 5 light plate covers and 6 outlet plate covers
Answer:
- 6 light plate covers and 4 outlet plate covers
Explanation: You need to find the total cost of each group of items by setting numerical expression. The group that totals less that $10 is what he can afford.
The numerical expressions of each group would look like this:
7(.75) + 4(1.25) = $10.25
6(.75) + 6(1.25) = $12
6(.75) + 4(1.25) = $9.50
5(.75) + 6(1.25) = 11.25
Because C is less than $10, that is the correct answer.Question 4: Solve the inequality: y - 9 > 18
- y < 27
- y > 27
- y = 27
- y = 9
Answer:
- y > 27
Explanation: Add 9 to each side. y - 9 + 9 > 18 + 9 y > 27
Question 5: Paul is building a new dog house for his dogs. The old dog house has a base that measures 2 ft by 3 ft. The plans for the new dog house have a base that measures 3ft x 5 ft.How much larger is the area of the new dog house than the old dog house?
- 12 ft²
- 9 ft²
- 6 ft²
- 3ft²
Answer:
- 9 ft²
- Thursday
- Wednesday
- Tuesday
- Monday
Explanation: To find the answer you must find the difference of the two areas. You must first find the area of old dog house. So, 2ft x 3ft = 6ft² You then need to find the area of the new dog house base. So, 3ft x 5ft = 15ft².You then need to find the difference, so 15 - 6 = 9.Question 6: Below is a chart showing the attendance record for a math summer camp.Day Number of Students Monday 12 Tuesday 11 Wednesday 14 Thursday 12 On which day is the number of student attendance a prime number?
Answer:
- Tuesday

Question 7: Solve: (10 - 5) + 4 x 11
- 99
- 49
- 59
D) 109
Answer:
- 49
Explanation: This problem is testing your knowledge about Order of Operations (PEMDAS). First, solve the problem in the parenthesis. Second, evaluate any powers and roots. Third, MULTIPLY and DIVIDE from left to right. Fourth, ADD and SUBTRACT from left to right.So, (10 - 5) + 4 x 11 5 + 4 x 11 5 + 44 49 Question 8: Carly gets a loan from bank for a new car. She borrows $5,000 and get a simply yearly interest for 8%. She pays it off in 3 years with 36 payments. What is her monthly payment?

B) $206.20
C) $138.89
D) 105.56
Answer:
A) $172.22
Explanation: This question can be solved by using the simple interest formula.
Simple interest = principal amount x rate x time SI = 5,000 x .08 x 3 SI = 1,200 The total that Carly must pay back is, 5,000(original loan amount) + 1,200 (interest) = $6,200 The duration is 3 years, which is 36 months. $6,200/36 = $172.22 Question 9: The following set of data is given: 12, 14, 20, 18, 16, 14, 24, 16, 14 Adding which pair of numbers would make the mean higher?
