A street vendor sells $25.70 worth of pretzels on Friday, $32.30 on Saturday, and $31.80 on Sunday. He spends a fourth of the money over the weekend.
How much money does he have left?

  1. $89.80
  2. $22.45
  3. $44.90
  4. $67.35

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Add the sales amounts together: $25.70 + $32.30 + $31.80 = $89.80. Then multiply the total sales by 3/4 to determine how much money he has left: $89.80 × 0.75 = $67.35.



A recruit has $30.00. He saw some camouflage socks for $3.95 a pair.
How many pairs of socks can he buy?

  1. 9
  2. 7
  3. 6
  4. 4

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Divide $30.00 by $3.95. The whole number is the number of pairs of socks he could buy: $30.00 ÷ $3.95 = 7.59 or 7 pairs of socks.



A crate containing a puppy weighs 60 pounds, 5 ounces. The puppy weighs 43 pounds, 7 ounces.
How much does the crate alone weigh?

  1. 16 pounds, 8 ounces
  2. 16 pounds, 2 ounces
  3. 17 pounds
  4. 16 pounds, 14 ounces

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

16 ounces make a pound. Subtract 43 pounds, 7 ounces (the weight of the puppy) from 59 pounds, 21 ounces (the weight of the crate). 59 pounds, 21 ounces is the same as 60 pounds, 5 ounces, but converting an additional pound to ounces makes the subtraction possible.
59 pounds, 21 ounces ­ 43 pounds, 7 ounces =16 pounds, 14 ounces



In a manufacturing plant that produces new computers, a 0.15 probability exists that a computer will be defective.
If five computers are manufactured, what's the probability that all of them will be defective?

  1. 7.6
  2. 0.60
  3. 0.00042
  4. 0.000076

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The probability that all five computers will be defective is 0.15 × 0.15 × 0.15 × 0.15 × 0.15 = 0.0000759 (round up to 0.000076)



A house contains one 12-foot × 14-foot bedroom, one 12-foot × 10-foot bedroom, and one 8-foot × 12-foot bedroom.
What's the total amount of carpeting needed to carpet all three bedrooms?

  1. 384 square yards
  2. 128 square yards
  3. 216 square yards
  4. 88 square yards

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Find the area of each bedroom and add them together: 12 × 14 = 168; 12 × 10 = 120; 8 × 12 = 96. 168 + 120 + 96 = 384 square feet. Then, because 3 feet make up a yard, divide the total area in square feet by 3 to determine the number of square yards needed: 384 ÷ 3 = 128 square yards.
