A customer at a restaurant leaves $80 on the table to pay for the food, a 15% tip, and 8% sales tax. If both tip and sales tax were calculated from the cost of the food, which of the following was the cost of the food, rounded to the nearest cent?

$65.04 This is the result of representing the cost of the food as x, the tip as 0.15x, and the tax as 0.08x, then setting up and solving the equation x + 0.15x + 0.08x = 80

The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm. Which of the following is the combined volume of all three tennis balls? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest hundredth. (V = 4/3πr3)

493.66 cm3 This is the result of correctly calculating the volume of all three tennis balls by dividing the diameter by 2 to get the radius (3.4), cubing the radius, multiplying by π (3.14), and then multiplying by 4/3 to find the volume of a single tennis ball. Finally, that volume must be multiplied by 3 to get the total volume of all three tennis balls.

A state trooper collected and recorded speeds of several cars at a set location on a local highway. The speeds in miles per hour are recorded below. Which of the following is the median of this data set?73, 81, 68, 75, 90, 78, 75, 82, 77, 71

76 This value represents the median of the data set. The median is the middle number when the data is ordered from least to greatest. Since this set has 10 values, it is the average of the 5th and 6th values.

(x + 3)² = 3 Which of the following is the correct solution to the equation above?

x = -3 ± √3 This is the result of taking the square root of both sides of the equation, then subtracting 3 from both sides to isolate x. When introducing a square root to solve an equation, the root will have both positive and negative values
