If 30% of a number is 18, what is 150% of that number?
- A.
54
- B.
60
- C.
90
- D.
150
Correct Answer
C. 90Explanation
First, find the whole number: If 30% of the number is 18, then 10% is 6 (18 / 3 = 6). Therefore, 100% of the number is 60 (6 x 10 = 60).
To find 150%, calculate 50% of the number, which is 30 (60 / 2 = 30). Add this to the original number: 60 + 30 = 90.Rate this question:

If x + 5 = 10, then what is the value of x?
- A.
5
- B.
10
- C.
15
- D.
-5
Correct Answer
A. 5Explanation
To find the value of x in the equation x + 5 = 10, we need to isolate x by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation. This gives us x + 5 - 5 = 10 - 5, which simplifies to x = 5. Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation is 5. This is a basic algebraic equation that demonstrates the principle of balancing equations to solve for an unknown variable.Rate this question:

Given the equation x2+4x+3=0, what are the values of x?
- A.
2 or 3
- B.
-1 or -3
- C.
1 or 3
- D.
5 or -1
Correct Answer
B. -1 or -3Explanation
To solve the quadratic equation x^2 + 4x + 3 = 0, you can factorize it:
(x + 3)(x + 1) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero gives:
x + 3 = 0
Solving for x, x = -3
x + 1 = 0
Solving for x, x = -1
Thus, the solutions for x are -1 and -3. These are the values that make the original equation true when substituted back into it.Rate this question:

What is the next number in the sequence: 3, 7, 15, 31, ?
- A.
47
- B.
63
- C.
72
- D.
58
Correct Answer
B. 63Explanation
The given sequence is increasing, and each number is obtained by doubling the previous number and then adding 1.
Starting with 3:
3 * 2 + 1 = 7
7 * 2 + 1 = 15
15 * 2 + 1 = 31
To find the next number, we apply the same pattern:
31 * 2 + 1 = 63
So, the next number in the sequence is 63.Rate this question:

Given the equation y2+ 4=20, what are the values of y?
- A.
4 only
- B.
-4 only
- C.
4 or -4
- D.
16
Correct Answer
C. 4 or -4Explanation
To solve the equation y^2 + 4 = 20, first subtract 4 from both sides:
y^2 + 4 - 4 = 20 - 4
This simplifies to:
y^2 = 16
Next, find y by taking the square root of both sides. Remember, squaring a number results in a positive value, and the square root of a positive number has both a positive and negative solution:
y = sqrt(16)
This gives:
y = 4 and y = -4
Therefore, y equals both 4 and -4.Rate this question:

The price of an item increases by 20% and then decreases by 20%. What is the net effect on the price?
- A.
Increased by 4%
- B.
Decreased by 4%
- C.
Increased by 0%
- D.
Increased by 40%
Correct Answer
B. Decreased by 4%Explanation
Let's assume the original price of the item is $100.
Price after increase: After a 20% increase, the price becomes $100 + ($100 * 20/100) = $120.
Price after decrease: After a 20% decrease, the price becomes $120 - ($120 * 20/100) = $96.
Net change: The net change in price is $96 - $100 = -$4.
Percentage change: The percentage change is (-$4 / $100) * 100% = -4%.
Therefore, the net effect on the price is a decrease of 4%.Rate this question:

The ratio of girls to boys in a school is 5:7. If there are 525 girls, how many boys are there?
- A.
375
- B.
625
- C.
735
- D.
325
Correct Answer
C. 735Explanation
The ratio of girls to boys in the school is 5:7. This means for every 5 girls, there are 7 boys. Given there are 525 girls, we first determine how many times the part of the ratio (5) fits into the actual number of girls (525).
Calculate the multiplier for the ratio:
525 (number of girls) / 5 (girl ratio part) = 105
Now, use this multiplier to find the number of boys:
Multiply the boy ratio part by the multiplier:
7 (boy ratio part) x 105 (multiplier) = 735
Therefore, there are 735 boys in the school.Rate this question:

David and John share $455 in the ratio of 2:3, respectively. How much money does John get?
- A.
$182
- B.
$273
- C.
$91
- D.
$175
Correct Answer
B. $273Explanation
David and John share $455 in the ratio of 2:3. This means for every 2 units that David receives, John receives 3 units. To find out how much money each person gets, you first need to determine the total number of parts into which the money is divided:
Total parts = 2 (David) + 3 (John) = 5 parts
Now, calculate the value of one part:
Value of one part = Total money / Total parts = $455 / 5 = $91
Finally, calculate how much John receives by multiplying the value of one part by the number of parts John receives:
Money John receives = 3 parts x $91/part = $273
Therefore, John receives $273.Rate this question:

If x-12y = 0, what is y/x?
- A.
1/6
- B.
12
- C.
1/12
- D.
None
Correct Answer
C. 1/12Explanation
To find the ratio of y/x from the equation x-12y = 0, first rearrange the equation to solve for y in terms of x. By moving all terms involving y to one side and all other terms to the opposite side, we get x = 12y. Now, divide both sides of this equation by x to isolate y/x on one side. This gives us y/x = 1/12. Hence, the value of y/x equals 1/12. This is calculated by dividing the coefficient of y by the coefficient of x in the rearranged equation.Rate this question:

What is 3/20 as a decimal?
- A.
0.3
- B.
0.5
- C.
0.15
- D.
1.5
Correct Answer
C. 0.15Explanation
To convert the fraction 3/20 into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. The calculation is performed by dividing 3 by 20. When you divide 3 by 20, you get 0.15. Therefore, the decimal equivalent of the fraction 3/20 is 0.15. This decimal value directly results from the division process, representing the proportion of 3 parts out of a total of 20 parts.Rate this question:

What is 68/0.00001 expressed as an ordinary number?
- A.
68,000,000
- B.
680000
- C.
68000
- D.
0.00068
Correct Answer
A. 68,000,000Explanation
Dividing by a decimal is equivalent to multiplying by its inverse. To find the inverse, move the decimal point five places to the right, making 0.00001 into 100,000. Now, multiply 68 by 100,000. This results in 68,000,000. Therefore, 68 divided by 0.00001, expressed as an ordinary number, is 68,000,000.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 28Explanation
We follow the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)):
First, multiply:
4 × 4 = 16
2 × (-3) = -6
Now, substitute these values into the expression:
16 - (-6) + 6
Subtracting a negative is the same as adding:

What is the result when you reduce $80 by 11%?
- A.
$8.80
- B.
$71.20
- C.
$69
- D.
None
Correct Answer
B. $71.20Explanation
To find the amount remaining after reducing $80 by 11%, first calculate 11% of $80. Multiply 80 by 0.11 to get the reduction amount. This calculation gives 80 * 0.11 = $8.80. Now, subtract this amount from the original $80 to find the reduced total. The calculation is 80 - 8.80 = $71.20. Therefore, when you reduce $80 by 11%, you will get $71.20. This result is achieved by applying the percentage reduction to the original amount and subtracting the calculated value from the original total.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. -1/3Explanation
To find the gradient (or slope) of the line, we need to rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient.
Rearrange the equation: x + 3y = 9 3y = -x + 9 y = (-1/3)x + 3
Identify the gradient: Now the equation is in slope-intercept form, and we can see that the gradient (m) is -1/3.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. 22Explanation
First, substitute x=2 into the equation 2x+5y=18:
2(2)+5y=18
4+5y=18
Next, solve for 𝑦 by isolating y:
5y=18−4
5y=14
y=2.8
Now, substitute x=2 and y=2.8 into the expression 4x+5y:
4(2)+5(2.8)

Change 36 km/h to meters per second:
- A.
20
- B.
10
- C.
36
- D.
None
Correct Answer
B. 10Explanation
Convert kilometers to meters: 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m). So, 36 km = 36 * 1000 = 36000 meters.
Convert hours to seconds: 1 hour = 60 minutes, and 1 minute = 60 seconds. So, 1 hour = 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds.
Divide the distance in meters by the time in seconds: 36000 meters / 3600 seconds = 10 meters/second.Rate this question:
