    Explanation
    There are 48 cookies in a box, and 3 cookies make one serving. To find the number of servings in a box, we need to divide the total number of cookies by the number of cookies in one serving. Therefore, 48 divided by 3 equals 16 servings.

    Correct Answer
    A. 50 mph
    Explanation

    You have won $50,000 in the lottery. Taxes on income are 20%. How much is owed in taxes?

    • 5000

    • 50000

    • 1000

    Correct Answer
    A. 10000
    Explanation
    The taxes owed on the $50,000 lottery win can be calculated by multiplying the amount won by the tax rate. In this case, the tax rate is 20%, so the taxes owed would be $50,000 * 0.20 = $10,000.

    What is the total price of a $20 item if the sales tax is 7%?

    Correct Answer
    A. 21.4
    Explanation
    The total price of a $20 item with a 7% sales tax can be calculated by multiplying the item's price by the tax rate and adding the result to the original price. In this case, 7% of $20 is $1.40, so the total price would be $20 + $1.40 = $21.40.

    Correct Answer
    A. 5:00am

    If hot dogs come in 10-packs and buns in 8-packs, how many buns should you buy to use up both?

    • 20

    • 40

    • 24

    • 18

    Correct Answer
    A. 40
    Explanation
    To use up both the hot dogs and buns, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 10 and 8. The LCM of 10 and 8 is 40. This means that if we buy 40 buns, we will have enough to use up both the 10-pack of hot dogs and the 8-pack of buns.
