The correct answer is (A). A pie chart represents percentages of a total, and would thus be the best graphic representation of a budget breakdown.
What degrees Fahrenheit is it at 30 degrees Celsius? Note: °F=(°C∗95+32)
The correct answer is (A). Plug in °C = 30 into the given formula and solve for °F: °F=(°C∗95+32)°F=(°C∗95+32) °F=(30∗95+32)°F=(30∗95+32) °F=54+32°F=54+32 °F=86

Simplify: (7y2+3xy−9)−(2y2+3xy−5)
The correct answer is (A). When subtracting polynomials the first step is to distribute the negative sign through the parentheses. This changes the sign on each term inside the parentheses: 7y2+3xy−9−2y2−3xy+57y2+3xy−9−2y2−3xy+5 Arrange like terms next to each other (optional): 7y2−2y2+3xy−3xy−9+57y2−2y2+3xy−3xy−9+5 Combine like terms to compute the answer: 5y2−4
Timmy can usually make six paper airplanes in an hour. However, if he gets interrupted by his parents, he can only make four per hour. His friend John can make seven paper airplanes per hour. One day, Timmy and John decide to have a three-hour long contest to see who can make the most paper airplanes. During the contest, Timmy is interrupted once every hour. John also had to take a break and do chores for an hour. How many more paper airplanes does the winner make?
The correct answer is (B). Because Timmy is interrupted during each hour, he can only make four paper airplanes per hour, multiplied by 3 hours, for a total of 12 airplanes. John makes seven paper airplanes during the two hours he works without chores, for a total of 14 airplanes. 14 airplanes minus 12 airplanes equals 2.
A nurse working at a medical clinic earns $17.81 per hour. The nurse works three 8-hour shifts and one 12-hour shift every week, and is paid weekly. Weekly deductions are: federal tax $102.80, state tax $24.58, federal insurance $18.13, and family health insurance $52.15. What is the nurse's take-home pay each week?
The correct answer is (B). First you must calculate how many hours the nurse works each week. Three 8-hour shifts plus one 12-hour shift equals 36 hours per week. Beginning Salary = 36 x $17.81 = $641.16 Deductions = $102.80 + $24.58 + $18.13 + $52.15 = $197.66 Take-Home Pay = $641.16 − $197.66 = $443.50
Amanda wants to paint the walls of a room. She knows that each can of paint contains one gallon. A half gallon will cover a 55 square feet of wall. Each of the four walls is 10 feet high. Two of the walls are 10 feet wide and two of the walls are 15 feet wide. How many 1-gallon buckets of paint does Amanda need to buy in order to fully paint the room?
The correct answer is (B). First, we must calculate the area of the walls Amanda wants to paint. Two of the walls are 10 x 10 and two of the walls are 10 x 15: 2 (10 x 10) = 200 2 (10 x 15) = 300 So the total square footage of the walls is 500. If a half gallon of paint will cover 55 square feet, then each gallon will cover 110 square feet. Four gallons would only cover 440 square feet. Five gallons will cover 550 square feet, which will be enough for all 500 square feet of walls.
Simplify the expression below. (5x−1)(3x+2)
The correct answer is (B). The "FOIL method" is the easiest way to remember how to multiply two-termed expressions. Multiply the First two terms, then the Outer two terms, then the Inner two terms, and then the Last two terms, then sum all four to arrive at the answer: 15x2+10x−3x−215x2+10x−3x−2 =15x2+7x−2
A father is planning a birthday party for his son. He is expecting a total attendance of 7 adults and 13 children. Food costs will be $11.00 for each adult and $5.00 for each child. He will also need to spend $2.00 per child for party favors. Which of the following is the total cost of the birthday party?
The correct answer is (B). The cost for each adult is $11.00 and there are 7 adults: 7×$11=$777×$11=$77 The cost for each child is $7.00 ($5.00 for food plus $2.00 for the party favors) and there are 14 children: 13×$7=$9113×$7=$91 Total Cost=$77+$91=$168
Derek purchased concert tickets in the month of June for $73, $66, $96, $17, and $66 dollars. Which of the following is an accurate estimate of the total amount he spent on concert tickets in June?
The correct answer is (B). The easiest way to make an estimate is to round each number so there is only one nonzero digit. Then you can easily add up the numbers: 73≈7073≈70 66≈7066≈70 96≈10096≈100 17≈2017≈20 66≈7066≈70 70+70+100+20+70=330
How many millimeters are there in 5 meters?
The correct answer is (B). The prefix "milli—" means one-thousandth. A millimeter is one-thousandth of a meter, which means there are 1,000 millimeters in 1 meter. So there must be 5,000 millimeters in 5 meters.
A toy manufacturer makes 15,000 toys a year. The company randomly selects 300 of the toys to sample for inspection. The company discovers that there are 5 faulty toys in the sample. Based on the sample, how many of the 15,000 total toys are likely to be faulty?
The correct answer is (B). The sample indicates that 5 out of every 300 randomly selected toys will be faulty. Consequently, a proportion can be set up that relates the unknown number of faulty toys in the total number of toys to the ratio of faulty toys to the sample: 5300=T15,0005300=T15,000 TT is the unknown number of faulty toys in the total. Multiply both sides by 15,000 and then divide the left side by 300 to solve for TT: 15,000∗5300=T15,000∗5300=T 50∗51=T=250
Order the list of numbers below from least to greatest. −1/4,π,3/8,−0.2

At a comic book store, Robert purchased three comics for $2.65 each. If he paid with a $20 bill, how much change did he receive?

Simplify the expression below. 3 2/5+1 4/7
The correct answer is (B). To add mixed number fractions, first convert them to improper fractions, then find a common denominator and add the numerators, placing them over the common denominator. Reduce the final fraction if necessary. 3 2/5=17/5325=175 147=117147=117 Now find the lowest common denominator between 5 and 7. Since they are both prime numbers, their lowest common denominator is their product, 35. We can rewrite both fractions: 175=11935175=11935 117=5535117=5535 Now that the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators: 119+5535=17435

Write the number 1906 in Roman numerals.
The correct answer is (C). In the Roman numeral system, M = 1000, D = 500, C = 100, L = 50, X = 10, V = 5, and I = 1. The ones, tens, hundreds and thousands must be treated as separate items. If a smaller item precedes a larger item, as in CM, it is treated as the difference of the two, so CM = 1000 − 100 = 900. 1000=M 900= CM 6=VI
Simplify the expression below. Which of the following is correct? 2−8÷(24÷2)=
The correct answer is (C). Remember your order of operations: Complete operations within parentheses first. Calculate exponents. Then multiply and divide in order from left to right. Then add and subtract in order from left to right. 2−8÷(24÷2)=2−8÷(24÷2)= 2−8÷(16÷2)=2−8÷(16÷2)= 2−8÷8=2−8÷8= 2−1=2−1= 1
Simplify the expression below. 7 1/4×1/18
