    • $38.45

    • $481.63

    • $13.65

    Correct Answer

    To calculate the total cost of the purchase, we need to add up the prices of each item. The customer wants to buy one newspaper, which costs $1.75. They also want to buy two different maps, each costing $6.95, so the total cost of the maps is $6.95 x 2 = $13.90. Additionally, they want to buy four different magazines, each costing $4.95, so the total cost of the magazines is $4.95 x 4 = $19.80. Adding up the cost of the newspaper, maps, and magazines, we get $1.75 + $13.90 + $19.80 = $35.45. Therefore, the total cost of the purchase is $35.45.

    You are working on a loading dock. You earn $8.50 per hour. In addition, you earn $3.00 for every crate that you can load on the truck. One day, you load 10 crates in the 6 hours you work. What are your total earnings for the day?

    • $21

    • $51

    • $81

    • $153

    Correct Answer

    You earn $14.55 per hour working on an assembly line. You work four 10-hour shifts each week. How much money do you earn in one day?

    • $14.55

    • $58.20

    • $145.50

    • $582.00

    Correct Answer
    A. $145.50
    Explanation
    To find the amount of money earned in one day, we need to divide the total amount earned in a week by the number of days worked. Since the person works four 10-hour shifts each week, they work a total of 40 hours. Multiplying the hourly wage of $14.55 by 40 hours gives us $582.00. Dividing this amount by the number of days worked in a week (which is 7) gives us $145.50, which is the amount of money earned in one day.

    Sanjay gets paid $6 commission for every $50 worth of merchandise he sells at a department store. What percent of sales is his commission?

    • 0.12%

    • 6%

    • 12%

    • 120%

    Correct Answer
    A. 12%
    Explanation
    Sanjay gets paid a commission of $6 for every $50 worth of merchandise he sells. To find the percentage of his commission, we can set up a proportion. Since $6 is the commission for $50 worth of merchandise, we can set up the proportion as 6/50 = x/100, where x represents the percentage of his commission. Cross-multiplying gives us 50x = 6 * 100, which simplifies to 50x = 600. Dividing both sides by 50, we find that x = 12. Therefore, Sanjay's commission is 12% of his sales.

    • 18.75%

    • 50%

    • 62.5%

    Correct Answer
    A. 12.5%
    Explanation
    Pedro spent $50 on decorations out of the total $400 he was given. To find the percentage, we divide $50 by $400 and multiply by 100. This gives us 12.5%. Therefore, Pedro spent 12.5% of the money on decorations.

    The landscape company you work for is laying new sod on a football field. The football field is 120 yards long, including both end zones. The sod you are laying comes in 6- foot lengths. How many pieces of sod will it take to cover the length of the field?

    • 20 pieces

    • 60 pieces

    • 120 pieces

    • 360 pieces

    Correct Answer
    A. 60 pieces
    Explanation
    To calculate the number of pieces of sod needed to cover the length of the football field, we need to divide the total length of the field by the length of each piece of sod. The field is 120 yards long, so we divide 120 by 6 (the length of each piece of sod) to get 20. Therefore, it will take 20 pieces of sod to cover the length of the field.

    You are installing 3-inch-wide laminate flooring for a customer. The room in which you are installing the laminate is 12 feet wide by 12 feet long. How many square feet of flooring will you need for the floor?

    • 32 sq. ft

    • 36 sq. ft

    • 60 sq. ft

    • 240 sq. ft

    Correct Answer
    A. 240 sq. ft
    Explanation
    To find the square footage of the floor, we need to multiply the width by the length. The width is given as 12 feet and the length is also given as 12 feet. Therefore, the total square footage needed for the floor is 12 feet x 12 feet = 144 square feet. However, since the laminate flooring is 3 inches wide, we need to convert the width to feet by dividing it by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot). 3 inches / 12 = 0.25 feet. Now, we can find the total square footage needed by dividing the total square footage by the width of the laminate flooring. 144 square feet / 0.25 feet = 576 square feet. However, since the question asks for the square footage of the flooring, we need to divide this number by the width of the laminate flooring again. 576 square feet / 3 inches = 192 square feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 192 square feet.
