9
- D.
90
Correct Answer
B. 2Explanation
The given answer, 2, can be obtained by applying the index laws. Specifically, we can simplify the expression by multiplying the numbers together. 1 multiplied by 2 is 2, and 9 multiplied by 10 is 90. Then, multiplying 2 and 90 gives us the final result of 180.Rate this question:

The shopkeeper reduces the price of a $70 pair of jeans by 20%. How much do they now cost?
- A.
$68
- B.
$56
- C.
$50
- D.
$84
Correct Answer
B. $56Explanation
The shopkeeper reduces the price of the jeans by 20%, which means that the price is now 80% of the original price. To find the new price, we can multiply the original price ($70) by 80% (0.8). This gives us a new price of $56.Rate this question:

The same DVD is on sale in two different stores. Store A: DVD normally costs $34.95 but has a 1/3 off sale. Store B: DVD normally costs $29.95 and has a 25% off sale. Which store is cheaper?
- A.
Store A
- B.
Store B
- C.
Both are the same price
Correct Answer
B. Store BExplanation
Store B is cheaper because the original price of the DVD is lower compared to Store A. Additionally, the discount percentage in Store B (25%) is higher than the discount percentage in Store A (1/3 off). Therefore, Store B offers a better deal and a lower price for the DVD.Rate this question:

Sam was 160cm tall, but has grown by 5% in the last year. How tall is Sam now?
- A.
160 cm
- B.
165 cm
- C.
168 cm
- D.
152.38 cm (2 decimal places)
Correct Answer
C. 168 cmExplanation
Sam's height has increased by 5% in the last year. To find out his new height, we can calculate 5% of 160cm, which is 8cm. Adding this to his original height, we get 168cm. Therefore, Sam is now 168cm tall.Rate this question:

Jo bought a bike for $200, fixed it up and then sold it for $250. What percentage profit did Jo make?
- A.
10%
- B.
15%
- C.
20%
- D.
25%
Correct Answer
D. 25%Explanation
Jo bought the bike for $200 and sold it for $250. To find the percentage profit, we need to calculate the difference between the selling price and the cost price, which is $250 - $200 = $50. Then, we divide this profit by the cost price and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. In this case, $50/$200 * 100 = 25%. Therefore, Jo made a 25% profit on the bike.Rate this question:

Andrew bought a car for $15,000 and sold it a year later making a 10% loss. How much did Andrew sell the car for?
- A.
$14,990
- B.
$14,850
- C.
$14,000
- D.
$13,500
Correct Answer
D. $13,500Explanation
Andrew bought a car for $15,000 and made a 10% loss when he sold it a year later. To find out how much he sold the car for, we need to calculate 10% of the purchase price, which is $15,000 x 0.10 = $1,500. Then, we subtract this amount from the purchase price to find the selling price: $15,000 - $1,500 = $13,500. Therefore, Andrew sold the car for $13,500.Rate this question:

What is the equation for this line?
- A.
Y = 2x + 3
- B.
Y = 2x
- C.
Y = 3x + 2
- D.
Y = 3x
Correct Answer
A. Y = 2x + 3Explanation
The equation for the given line is y = 2x + 3. This equation represents a straight line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 3. The slope of 2 means that for every 1 unit increase in x, the y-value increases by 2 units. The y-intercept of 3 indicates that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 3). Therefore, the equation y = 2x + 3 accurately represents the line.Rate this question:

Y = x - 2
![Year 8 Math - Year Test Revision (Number And Algebra) - Quiz]()
Correct Answer
D. Y = x - 2Explanation
The equation of the line is y = x - 2. This can be determined by comparing the given equations with the equation of a line, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, the slope is 1 (since the coefficient of x is 1) and the y-intercept is -2. Therefore, the equation y = x - 2 represents the line.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Y = 3xExplanation
The equation for the given line is y = 3x. This means that the value of y is always three times the value of x. For example, if x = 2, then y = 6. This equation represents a straight line with a slope of 3, meaning that for every increase of 1 in x, y increases by 3.Rate this question:

- D.
Y = -x - 4
Correct Answer
C. Y = -x + 4Explanation
The equation of the line is y = -x + 4 because it has a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 4. The negative slope indicates that the line is decreasing as x increases, and the positive y-intercept indicates that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 4).Rate this question:
