Question 1

Solve the problem.
-Devon purchased tickets to an air show for 6 adults and 2 children. The total cost was $114. The cost of a child's ticket was $7 less than the cost of an adult's ticket. Find the price of an adult's ticket
And a child's ticket.
A) adult's ticket: $17; child's ticket: $10
B) adult's ticket: $18; child's ticket: $11
C) adult's ticket: $15; child's ticket: $8
D) adult's ticket: $16; child's ticket: $9

Accepted Answer

Let the cost of an adult's ticket be x. Then the cost of a child's ticket is x - 7. The equation is 6x + 2(x - 7) = 114. Solving gives x = 16, so the adult's ticket is $16 and the child's ticket is $9.

Question 4

Solve the problem.
-A convenience store employee is counting $10 and $20 bills. If there are six times as many $10 bills as $20 bills and the total amount is $1920, find the number of each type of bill.
A) 144 $20 bills; 6 $10 bills
B) 24 $20 bills; 6 $10 bills
C) 24 $20 bills; 144 $10 bills
D) 144 $20 bills; 24 $10 bills

Accepted Answer

Let the number of $20 bills be x. Then, the number of $10 bills is 6x. The total value is $20x + $10(6x) = $1920. Solving this equation gives x = 24 for the $20 bills and 6x = 144 for the $10 bills.

Question 7

Solve.
-A motorcycle traveling at 50 miles per hour overtakes a car traveling at 30 miles per hour that had a three-hour head start. How far from the starting point are the two vehicles? 
A) $56 \frac { 1 } { 4 } \mathrm { mi }$
B) $4 \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { mi }$
C) $7 \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { mi }$
D) $225 \mathrm { mi }$

Accepted Answer

The car travels 30 miles per hour for 3 hours, covering 90 miles. The motorcycle catches up at a relative speed of 20 miles per hour (50 - 30). It takes 4.5 hours to close the 90-mile gap, so the distance from the start is 50 mph * 4.5 hours = 225 miles.

Question 8

Solve.

C) $3 \frac { 5 } { 7 } \mathrm { mph }$
D) $7 \frac { 1 } { 7 } \mathrm { mph }$

Accepted Answer

Dave's speed on level ground is $6 \frac { 5 } { 7 } \mathrm { mph }$ after setting up and solving the equation based on the given information.

Question 9

Solve the problem.
-On a buying trip in Los Angeles, Rosaria Perez ordered 120 pieces of jewelry: a number of bracelets at $4 each and a number of necklaces at $13 each. She wrote a check for $930 to pay for the order. How many bracelets and how many necklaces did Rosaria purchase?
A) 80 bracelets and 40 necklaces
B) 65 bracelets and 55 necklaces
C) 75 bracelets and 45 necklaces
D) 70 bracelets and 50 necklaces

Accepted Answer

Let x be the number of bracelets and y be the number of necklaces. We have two equations: x + y = 120 and 4x + 13y = 930. Solving these equations, we find x = 70 and y = 50.

Question 11

Solve.
-On a road trip, five friends drove at 50 miles per hour to California. On the way home, they took the same route but drove 75 miles per hour. How many miles did they drive on the way to California if the round trip took 10 hours?
A) 1500 mi
B) 600 mi
C) 6 mi
D) 300 mi

Accepted Answer

The total distance for the round trip is the sum of the distance to California and the distance back. Let $ x $ be the distance to California. The time to California is $ \frac{x}{50} $ hours, and the time back is $ \frac{x}{75} $ hours. The total time is $ \frac{x}{50} + \frac{x}{75} = 10 $ hours. To find $ x $, solve the equation: $ \frac{x}{50} + \frac{x}{75} = 10 $. Finding a common denominator (150) and solving for $ x $ gives $ x = 300 $ miles.

Question 12

Solve.
-How can $42,000 be invested, part at 4% annual simple interest and the remainder at 10% annual simple interest, so that the interest earned by the two accounts is equal at the end of the year?
A) $30,000 invested at 4%; $12,000 invested at 10%
B) $22,000 invested at 4%; $20,000 invested at 10%
C) $20,000 invested at 4%; $22,000 invested at 10%
D) $12,000 invested at 4%; $30,000 invested at 10%

Accepted Answer

Let the amount invested at 4% be $x. Then, the amount invested at 10% is $42,000 - $x. The interest from the first investment is 0.04x, and from the second investment is 0.10(42,000 - x). Setting these equal to each other because the interests are equal: 0.04x = 0.10(42,000 - x). Solving this equation gives x = $30,000 at 4%, and thus $12,000 at 10%.

Question 13

Solve the problem.
-Jon throws all his nickels and dimes in a jar at home each day. He counted all his coins one day and found that he had collected $37.45. If there were five times as many nickels as dimes, how many of Each coin does he have?
A) 535 dimes; 530 nickels
B) 535 dimes; 107 nickels
C) 107 dimes; 5 nickels
D) 107 dimes; 535 nickels

Accepted Answer

Let the number of dimes be x and the number of nickels be 5x. The value of the dimes is 0.10x and the value of the nickels is 0.05(5x) = 0.25x. The total value is 0.10x + 0.25x = 0.35x = $37.45. Solving for x gives x = 107, so there are 107 dimes and 5*107 = 535 nickels.

Question 18

Solve the problem.
-Sue took her collection of nickels and dimes to deposit in the bank. She has five fewer nickels than dimes. Her total deposit was $45.35. How many dimes did she deposit?
A) 299 dimes
B) 309 dimes
C) 304 dimes
D) 603 dimes

Accepted Answer

Let the number of dimes be $d$ and the number of nickels be $n$. The problem states that Sue has five fewer nickels than dimes, so $n = d - 5$. The total value of the coins is $45.35, or 4535 cents. Since dimes are worth 10 cents and nickels are worth 5 cents, the total value can be represented as $10d + 5n = 4535$. Substituting $n = d - 5$ into the equation gives $10d + 5(d - 5) = 4535$, which simplifies to $15d - 25 = 4535$. Solving for $d$ gives $d = 304$, so Sue deposited 304 dimes.

Question 19

-Linda and Dave leave simultaneously from the same starting point biking in opposite directions. Linda bikes at 5 miles per hour and Dave bikes at 9 miles per hour. How long will it be until they
Are 30 miles apart from each other? 
A) $2 \frac { 1 } { 7 } \mathrm { hr }$
B) $7 \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { hr }$
C) $\frac { 7 } { 15 } \mathrm { hr }$
D) $\frac { 2 } { 3 } \mathrm { hr }$

Accepted Answer

Since Linda and Dave are biking away from each other, their speeds add up. Together, they cover $5 + 9 = 14$ miles per hour. To find out how long it takes for them to be 30 miles apart, divide the distance by their combined speed: $30 \div 14 = 2 \frac{1}{7}$ hours.

Question 20

Solve.
-Kevin invested part of his $10,000 bonus in a certificate of deposit that paid 6% annual simple interest, and the remainder in a mutual fund that paid 11% annual simple interest. If his total Interest for that year was $900, how much did Kevin invest in the mutual fund?
A) $7000
B) $4000
C) $6000
D) $5000

Accepted Answer

Let x be the amount invested in the mutual fund. Then, $10,000 - x is the amount invested in the certificate of deposit. The total interest is given by 0.06($10,000 - x) + 0.11x = $900. Solving this equation, we find x = $6000.
