Lance makes $11.35 an hour and earns time and a half pay for every hour over 40. If Lance worked 47 hours this week, about how much will his paycheck be? Round to the hundredths place.

  1. $546.24
  2. $454
  3. $521.37
  4. $573.18

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

$573.18 is correct because $11.35 an hour x40 hours a week equals $454.
Time and a half pay for Lance would be $17.025, and you figure that out by multiplying $11.35 an hour by 1.5.
Then multiply $17.025 times 7 overtime hours to get $119.175.
Lastly, add $454 and $119.175 and you will get $573.175. Rounded to the hundredth place would be $573.18.



Dawn has a 20% off one shirt coupon at her favorite store. If she buys 3 shirts at $29.99 each and uses her coupon, how much will her total bill be? Round to the nearest hundredth.

  1. $89.97
  2. $83.97
  3. $71.98
  4. $86.42

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

$83.97 is correct because $29.99 multiplied by 3 shirts is $89.97.
To get 20% off of ONE shirt, $29.99 is multiplied by 0.20, which equals $5.998.

You subtract $5.998 from $89.97 to get $83.972.
Rounded to the nearest hundredth you would get the correct answer, $83.97.

  2. N/5 × 2
  3. N/2 + 5

|7| + |−2 | = ?

Note: This problem is the number -2 within an absolute value sign, not the number -21.

  1. 0
  2. 14
  3. 5
  4. 9

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

9 is the correct answer because the brackets around the numbers mean you are adding the absolute value of those numbers.
An absolute value looks at the actual number within the brackets and not any sign associated with it, including a negative sign. Therefore, 7 + 2 = 9.
