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)
