A home stereo depreciates by 20% each year.
What's the value of a stereo, purchased new for $1,200, after two years?

  1. $768
  2. $693
  3. $827
  4. $654

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The stereo depreciates $240 the first year (0.2 × 1200 = 240). Therefore, the value of the stereo after the first year is $1200 ­ $240 = $960. The second year the stereo would depreciate by $192 (0.2 × 960). The value of the stereo after the second year is $960 ­ $192 = $768.

A clerk's weekly salary of $320 is increased to $360.
The percent increase is __________.

  1. 101/2%
  2. 11%
  3. 121/2%
  4. 12%

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Subtract the original salary from the new salary to get the difference in salary: $360 ­ $320 = $40. Then divide the difference in salary ($40) by the original salary ($320) to determine the percent increase: 40 ÷ 320 = 0.125 = 12.5%.



Two go-carts are racing on a circular track with a perimeter of 360 feet. Camera One is following Go-Cart One, and Camera Two is following Go-Cart Two.
If the angle between the two cameras is 40 degrees, how far apart are the two go-carts?

  1. 30 feet
  2. 40 feet
  3. 300 feet
  4. 400 feet

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A circle is 360 degrees, so 40 degrees is 1/9 of a circle (360 ÷ 40 = 9). To get the answer of 40 feet, multiply the perimeter of the track 1/9 (360 × 1/9 = 40).
