QUESTION: 105

Joan invests $4,000 in an account that earns 3% simple interest.

How much will Joan have in the account in 10 years?

$4,500
$4,800
$5,200
$5,400

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Use the interest formula (I = Prt) to determine the amount of interest earned, where the principle (P) is 4,000, the rate (r) is 0.03 (3%) and the time (t) is 10. I = 4,000(0.03)(10), or I = $1,200. Add the interest earned to the original amount invested. $4,000 + $1,200 = $5,200.

QUESTION: 106

A rectangle has a perimeter of 36 inches. Its length is 3 inches greater than twice the width. What’s the rectangle’s length?

5 inches
13 inches
18 inches
20 inches

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A rectangle’s perimeter is determined by the formula P = 2(l + w). The length of this rectangle is 3 + 2w. Substituting the known values into the formula results in 36 = 2(w + 3 + 2w).
36 = 2(3w + 3)
18 = 3w + 3
15 = 3w
w = 5
As the length is 3 + 2w, then l = 3 + 2(5), or l = 13.

QUESTION: 108

Eric is driving a car in which the speedometer is calibrated in kilometers per hour (kph). He notes that his car is traveling at a rate of 75 kph, when he passes a speed limit sign stating the limit is 40 miles per hour (mph). He knows that a kilometer is about 5⁄8 of a mile.
If a police officer stops him at this point, how many mph over the limit will the ticket read?

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A kilometer is 5⁄8 of a mile, so multiply 75 × 5⁄8, or 75⁄1 × 5⁄8 = 375⁄8. Divide 8 into 375 to reduce the fraction and determine that Eric was traveling at 47 miles per hour, 7 mph over the 40 mph posted limit.
