    • 250000

    Correct Answer
    A. 100000
    Explanation
    To calculate the amount you should save for 4 years of college, you need to multiply the yearly cost of college ($25,000) by the number of years (4). Therefore, the total amount you should save is $100,000.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    If you've gone 360 miles on 12 gallons of gas, how many miles per gallon do you get?

    • 10 MPG

    • 300 MPG

    • 12 MPG

    • 30 MPG

    Correct Answer
    A. 30 MPG
    Explanation
    To find the miles per gallon, we divide the total miles traveled (360) by the total gallons of gas used (12). This gives us 30 miles per gallon.

    If a five day vacations costs 2500 dollars, how much does each day cost?

    • 750 Dollars

    • 500 Dollars

    • 1000 Dollars

    Correct Answer
    A. 500 Dollars
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 500 dollars because if a five day vacation costs 2500 dollars, we can divide the total cost by the number of days to find the cost per day. 2500 divided by 5 equals 500 dollars per day.

    • 20

    Explanation
    If you tip 20% on a $30 restaurant bill, you would tip $6. This is because 20% of $30 is $6.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Assuming sales tax is 6%, how much sales tax would you pay on a $500 purchase?

    • 45

    • 10

    • 65

    • 30

    Correct Answer
    A. 30
    Explanation
    The sales tax on a $500 purchase can be calculated by multiplying the purchase amount by the sales tax rate. In this case, the sales tax rate is 6% or 0.06. So, 500 * 0.06 = $30. Therefore, the correct answer is 30.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    If you buy a TV that costs $300, and the tax is 4 percent, what is the total price?

    • 304

    • 312

    • 308

    • 310

    Correct Answer
    A. 312
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 312. To calculate the total price, we need to add the cost of the TV and the tax. The tax is 4 percent of $300, which is $12. Adding $12 to the cost of the TV gives us a total price of $312.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    If a dog eats 2 cups of food a day, how much food will he eat in March?

    • No Way To Tell

    • 56 Cups

    • 62 Cups

    • 60 Cups

    Correct Answer
    A. 62 Cups
    Explanation
    Since the question does not provide any information about the number of days in March or any specific instructions regarding the dog's food consumption, there is no way to determine how much food the dog will eat in March. Therefore, the correct answer is "No Way To Tell."

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What is the sum of the first 100 natural numbers?

    • 5000 

    • 5050 

    • 10100 

    • 10000

    Correct Answer
    A. 5050 
    Explanation
    The sum of the first 'n' natural numbers can be calculated using the formula n(n+1)/2. Therefore, the sum of the first 100 natural numbers is 100(100+1)/2 = 5050.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    If you've been paid $360 for completing 3,600 tasks, how much have you made per task?

    • 36 Cents

    • 30 Cents

    • 100 Cents

    • 10 Cents

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 Cents
    Explanation
    If you have been paid $360 for completing 3,600 tasks, you can calculate how much you have made per task by dividing the total amount earned ($360) by the total number of tasks (3,600). This calculation results in 10 cents per task.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    If you drive 20 miles to work every day, each way, how many miles do you travel in a work week?

    • 400

    • 80

    • 100

    • 200

    Correct Answer
    A. 200
    Explanation
    If you drive 20 miles to work every day, each way, it means you travel a total of 40 miles in a day. Since there are 5 working days in a week, you would travel 40 miles multiplied by 5, which equals 200 miles in a work week.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    If I pay you $10.00 to paint a 2' x 2' wall, how much should I pay you to paint a 4' x 4' wall?

    • 20

    • 80

    • 40

    • 15

    Correct Answer
    A. 40
    Explanation
    The cost of painting a wall is typically determined by the area to be painted. If you double the dimensions of the wall, you quadruple the area to be painted. The area of a 2' x 2' wall is 4 square feet (2 x 2 = 4), and the area of a 4' x 4' wall is 16 square feet (4 x 4 = 16).
    So, if you initially paid $10.00 to paint a 2' x 2' wall, you would adjust the payment based on the increase in area for the 4' x 4' wall. Since the area is four times larger, you might consider charging $10.00 x 4 = $40.00 to paint the 4' x 4' wall.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    You pay your lawyer 20%, and need 100,000 to repair your house so how much should you sue for?

    • 150000

    • 120000

    • 100000

    • 125000

    Correct Answer
    A. 125000
    Explanation
    If you need $100,000 to repair your house and you pay your lawyer 20%, you should sue for an amount that includes both the repair cost and the lawyer's fee. To calculate this, you need to divide the repair cost by (1 - lawyer's fee percentage). In this case, the lawyer's fee is 20%, so you divide $100,000 by (1 - 0.20), which is equal to $125,000. Therefore, you should sue for $125,000.
