QUESTION: 129

Amanda earns an average of $22 an hour in tips as a waitress at the best steak restaurant in town.
If her hourly wage is $2.50 and she has to pay a 10% tip share to the hostesses and busboys, how much does she take home at the end of a day when she worked from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.?

$32.90
$121.11
$138.60
$156.10

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

First, calculate the amount of Amanda's hourly wages for a shift of 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which is seven hours.
7 × $2.50 = $17.50
Next, calculate the amount of Amanda's tips for her seven-hour shift. 7 × $22 = $154
Now, calculate the amount of her tips she has to share with the busboys and hostesses.
$154 × 0.10 = $15.40
Now add everything up.

QUESTION: 130

During Friday night's high school performance of the play Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, 76% of the seats in the performing arts center (with a seating capacity of 500 people) were occupied, and three-quarters of those attending were parents.
How many high school students attended the play?

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the number of total playgoers by multiplying the total seats available by the percentage.
500 × 0.76 = 380
Since three quarters (75%) of those attending were parents, that means that one quarter, or 25%, were high school students; this is the answer we are going to calculate. Therefore, multiply the number of total playgoers by the percentage of students to find out how many students attended the performance.
380 × 0.25 = 95 students

Jonathan spent four hours doing calculus problems, one hour playing Web-based video games, half an hour talking to his girlfriend, and two hours lifting weights and exercising.
What percentage of his time was spent on math problems?

46.6%
50.0%
53.3%
57.1%

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Add all the blocks of rime together. 4 + 1 + 0.5 + 2 = 7.5 hours total
Now multiply the time spent doing calculus (four hours) by 100 and divide it by the total time to get the percentage of time spent:
4 × 100 = 400
400 ÷ 7.5 = 53.3%

QUESTION: 132

Mrs. H.B. found a display model of a notebook computer to use for her business for $1,400, including software. However, since the model had been discontinued and the display had no packaging material or instructions, the store manager discounted the price to $1,150.
What was the percentage of the reduction?

1.78%
13.0%
15.0%
17.9%

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Subtract the discounted price from the original price.
$1,400 − $1,150 = $250
Now multiply the amount of the discount by 100 and divide it by the original price.
$250 × 100 = 25,000
25,000 ÷ 1,400= 17.857142 = 17.9% discount
