Question 1

Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.
Solve the problem.
-A bank teller has some five-dollar bills and some twenty-dollar bills. The teller has 10 more of the twenties. The total value of the money is $ 825. Find the number of five-dollar bills that the teller has.
A) 45 five-dollar bills
B) 25 five-dollar bills
C) 35 five-dollar bills
D) 15 five-dollar bills

Accepted Answer

Let x be the number of five-dollar bills. Then the number of twenty-dollar bills is x + 10. The equation is 5x + 20(x + 10) = 825. Solving gives x = 25.

Question 2

Solve the problem.
-A cashier has a total of 127 bills made up of fives and tens. The total value of the money is $ 855. How many ten-dollar bills does the cashier have?
A) 22 ten-dollar bills
B) 83 ten-dollar bills
C) 66 ten-dollar bills
D) 44 ten-dollar bills

Accepted Answer

Let x be the number of five-dollar bills and y be the number of ten-dollar bills. We have two equations: x + y = 127 and 5x + 10y = 855. Solving these equations, we find y = 44.

Question 3

A survey showed that students had these preferences for instructional materials. Use the graph to answer the question.
 
-About how many students would you expect to prefer computers in a school of 450 students?
A) About 90 students
B) About 162 students
C) About 36 students
D) About 81 students

Question 6

A survey showed that students had these preferences for instructional materials. Use the graph to answer the question.
 
-About how many students would you expect to prefer radio in a school of 650 students?
A) About 234 students
B) About 117 students
C) About 33 students
D) About 5 students

Accepted Answer

The question likely refers to a survey or data where a small percentage of students prefer radio. Assuming a small percentage, around 5% of 650 students would be approximately 33 students.

Question 7

Solve the problem.
-It is necessary to have a 40% antifreeze solution in the radiator of a certain car. The radiator now has 30 liters of 20% solution. How many liters of this should be drained and replaced with 100% antifreeze to get the desired strength?
A) 15 L
B) 12 L
C) 10.0 L
D) 7.5 L

Accepted Answer

To achieve a 40% antifreeze solution, we can use the equation: (amount of antifreeze initially + amount of antifreeze added) / total solution = desired concentration. Initially, there are 30 liters of a 20% solution, so there are 30 * 0.20 = 6 liters of antifreeze. Let x be the amount to drain and replace with 100% antifreeze. The amount of antifreeze after replacement is (6 - 0.20x + x). The total solution remains 30 liters. Setting up the equation: (6 - 0.20x + x) / 30 = 0.40. Solving for x gives x = 7.5 liters.

Question 8

Solve the problem.
-How many liters of a 20% alcohol solution must be mixed with 40 liters of a 80% solution to get a 40% solution?
A) 8 L
B) 80 L
C) 12 L
D) 120 L

Accepted Answer

To solve this, let x be the amount of 20% solution needed. The equation is 0.20x + 0.80(40) = 0.40(x + 40). Solving gives x = 80.

Question 10

Solve the problem.
-Helen Weller invested $ 14,000 in an account that pays 3% simple interest. How much additional money must be invested in an account that pays 6% simple interest so that the average return on the two investments amounts to 4%?
A) $ 7000
B) $ 11,000
C) $ 10,000
D) $ 14,000

Accepted Answer

The average return on the two investments is 4%. So, the total interest earned from both investments should be 4% of the total amount invested. The interest earned from the first investment is $14,000 * 3% = $420. Let the amount invested in the second account be x. Then, the interest earned from the second investment is x * 6% = 0.06x. The total interest earned from both investments is $420 + 0.06x. This should be equal to 4% of the total amount invested, which is $14,000 + x. So, we have the equation:$420 + 0.06x = 0.04($14,000 + x)Solving for x, we get:x = $10,000

Question 11

-Mardi received an inheritance of $ 60,000. She invested part at 4% and deposited the remainder in tax-free bonds at 6%. Her total annual income from the investments was $ 2800. Find the amount invested at 4%.

Question 12

Solve the problem.
-Walt made an extra $ 10,000 last year from a part-time job. He invested part of the money at 3% and the rest at 4%. He made a total of $ 340 in interest. How much was invested at 4%?
A) $ 4000
B) $ 6000
C) $ 8000
D) $ 5000

Accepted Answer

Walt invested $4000 at 4%. Let x be the amount invested at 3%, then (10000 - x) is the amount invested at 4%. The equation for the total interest is 0.03x + 0.04(10000 - x) = 340. Solving for x gives x = 6000, so $4000 (10000 - 6000) was invested at 4%.

Question 16

Solve the problem.
-From a point on a straight road, two cars are driven in opposite directions, one at 71 miles per hour and the other at 54 miles per hour. In how many hours will they be 375 miles apart?
A) 4 hours
B) Not enough information
C) 2 hours
D) 3 hours

Accepted Answer

The cars are moving apart at a combined speed of 71 + 54 = 125 miles per hour. To find the time it takes for them to be 375 miles apart, divide the distance by the speed: 375 miles ÷ 125 miles per hour = 3 hours.

Question 19

Solve the problem.
-Derek is twice as old as Sarah. Two years ago the sum of their ages was 14. How old is each now?
A) Derek: 14 yr old; Sarah: 29 yr old
B) Derek: 29 yr old; Sarah: 13 yr old
C) Derek: 16 yr old; Sarah: 26 yr old
D) Derek: 28 yr old; Sarah: 14 yr old

Accepted Answer

Derek is twice as old as Sarah, so if Sarah is x years old, Derek is 2x years old. Two years ago, their ages would be (2x - 2) + (x - 2) = 14. Solving this equation, we find x = 14, so Sarah is 14 years old and Derek is 28 years old.

Question 20

Solve the problem.
-A cashier has a total of 123 bills, made up of fives and tens. The total value of the money is $ 735. How many ten-dollar bills does the cashier have?
A) 24 ten-dollar bills
B) 12 ten-dollar bills
C) 36 ten-dollar bills
D) 99 ten-dollar bills

Accepted Answer

Let x be the number of five-dollar bills and y be the number of ten-dollar bills. We have two equations: x + y = 123 and 5x + 10y = 735. Solving these simultaneously, we find y = 24.
