QUESTION: 61

A baker sells a dozen donuts for $3.99.
The cost to make three donuts is $0.45. How much is the total profit on 5-dozen donuts?

$17.70
$13.20
$2.19
$10.95

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Multiply $0.45 (the cost of making 3 donuts) by 4 to find the cost of making a dozen donuts: $0.45 × 4 = $1.80. Then multiply the cost of making a dozen donuts by 5 to determine the cost per 5 dozen: $1.80 × 5 = $9.00.
Next, multiply the selling price per dozen times 5, the number of dozens sold: $3.95 × 5 = $19.95. Finally subtract the cost of making 5-dozen donuts from the price the baker sells them for to determine the profit: $19.95 – $9.00 = $10.95.

QUESTION: 62

Your piggy bank contains $19.75 in dimes and quarters. There are 100 coins in all. How many dimes are there?

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Let x equal the number of dimes. Then 100 – x represents the number of quarters. There is $0.10x in dimes and $0.25(100 – x) in quarters.
0.10x + 0.25(100 – x) = 19.75
0.10x + 25 – 0.25x = 19.75 –0.15x = –5.25
x = –5.25/–0.15
x = 35

QUESTION: 64

Terry earns three times more per hour than Tim. Tim earns $2 more per hour than Angie. As a group they earn $43 per hour.
What’s Angie’s hourly wage?

$7.00
$8.00
$9.00
$10.00

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Let x equal Angie’s hourly wage. x + 2 would then represent Tim’s hourly wage, and 3(x + 2) would represent Terry’s hourly wage.
x + (x +2) + 3(x +2) = 43 x + x + 2 + 3x + 6 = 43 5x + 8 = 43
5x = 35
x = 35⁄5
x = 7
