QUESTION: 7

Carpet stain protector costs $0.65 per square yard to apply.
How much will it cost to apply the protectant to a 16-foot × 18-foot carpet?

$187.20
$62.40
$20.80
$96.00

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

To determine the number of square yards to be protected, multiply 16 feet by 18 feet to determine the number of square feet, 288. Then divide 288 by 9 to convert square feet to square yards (1 square yard = 3 feet × 3 feet = 9 square feet). Multiply the quotient, 32 square yards, by the cost of protection per square yard, $0.65, to get the correct answer, $20.80. Remember to perform all the steps in a calculation.

QUESTION: 8

A printing plant that produces baseball cards has a monthly overhead of $6,000. It costs 18 cents to print each card, and the cards sell for 30 cents each.
How many cards must the printing plant sell each month in order to make a profit?

30,000
40,000
50,000
60,000

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Let x = the number of cards printed and sold each month. Therefore, cost is equal to 6000 + 18x, and revenue is equal to 0.30x. You’re looking for the point where revenue is greater than the cost (revenue > cost). The inequity is 0.30x > 6000 + 18x. Subtracting 18x from both sides of the inequity results in 0.12x > 6000. Divide both sides by 0.12. The result is that x > 50,000. The printing plant would have to print and sell 50,000 cards per month to make a profit.
