Question 2

Write the unit cost, rounded to the nearest cent.
-If 43 cheeseburgers cost $60.23, then one cheeseburger costs $1.4007.
A)$1.30
B)$1.40
C)$1.50
D)$60.23

Accepted Answer

To calculate the unit cost, we divide the total cost by the number of cheeseburgers: $60.23 ÷ 43 = $1.4007. Rounded to the nearest cent, the cost is $1.40, which is choice B. We can use the formula: unit cost = total cost / quantity. Plugging in the given values, we get unit cost = $60.23 / 43 ≈ $1.4007. Rounded to the nearest cent, the unit cost is $1.40, making choice B the correct answer.

Question 3

First use front-end rounding to write an estimate of the answer, and then add the decimals to obtain an exact answer.
-
A)Estimate: 2801, exact: 1393.57
B)Estimate: 2801, exact: 2393.47
C)Estimate: 2801, exact: 2383.47
D)Estimate: 2801, exact: 2393.57

Accepted Answer

Front-end rounding to the nearest hundred gives an estimate of 2800. Then we can add the decimals to get the exact answer.

$1400 + 0.4 + 0.17 + 593.00 = 2393.57$

Therefore, the closest answer choice is D.

-One cook can make enough food for 350 people a night. How many cooks are needed to feed 1,750 people a night?
A)3 cooks
B)4 cooks
C)5 cooks
D)6 cooks

Accepted Answer

To find out how many cooks are needed to feed 1,750 people, we need to divide the total number of people by the number of people one cook can feed per night. So, 1,750 ÷ 350 = 5. This means that we need 5 cooks to feed 1,750 people a night. Therefore, the correct answer is C)5 cooks.

Question 12

Perform the indicated operation.
-7.65 ÷ 0.09
A)74
B)85
C)8.5
D)86

Accepted Answer

When dividing by a decimal, you can simplify the operation by multiplying both the dividend (7.65) and the divisor (0.09) by the same power of 10 to make the divisor a whole number. Multiplying both by 100, we get 765 ÷ 9 = 85.

Question 14

Perform the indicated operation.
- (Round to the nearest hundredths when necessary.)
A)0.24
B)0.07
C)0.74
D)0.02

Accepted Answer

Without knowing what operation we are supposed to perform, it is impossible to calculate the exact answer. However, since the question asks us to round to the nearest hundredths, we can assume that the final answer will be a decimal. Only choice A is a decimal, so it must be the best choice.

Question 15

Solve the problem.
-David's company has to ship 2,200 boxes of sprinklers. If a truck can hold 550 boxes, how many truckloads does he need to ship all the boxes?
A)5 truckloads
B)2 truckloads
C)3 truckloads
D)4 truckloads

Accepted Answer

To find out how many truckloads are needed, divide the total number of boxes by the number of boxes each truck can hold: 2200 boxes ÷ 550 boxes/truck = 4 trucks.

Question 16

Rewrite the number as indicated.
-A company had net revenues of $8,500,945 in one year. Write this number using words.
A)eight million, five hundred thousand, nine hundred forty-five
B)eight million, five thousand, nine hundred forty-five
C)eight million, fifty thousand, nine hundred forty-five
D)eight million, five hundred thousand, nine thousand, forty-five

Accepted Answer

The number 8,500,945 is read as "eight million, five hundred thousand, nine hundred forty-five." The number 8,500,945 is in the millions place and can be written as "eight million." The remaining digits can be written out as "five hundred thousand, nine hundred forty-five." Together this forms "eight million, five hundred thousand, nine hundred forty-five."

Question 17

Write the decimal in words.
-6.7
A)six and seven thousandths
B)six and seven tenths
C)six and seven millionths
D)six and seven hundredths

A)$138
B)$300
C)$538
D)$438

Accepted Answer

The weekly pay is calculated by adding the base salary of $300 to the bonus earned from selling 6 service contracts. The bonus is $23 per contract, so for 6 contracts, the bonus is 6 * $23 = $138. Therefore, the total weekly pay is $300 + $138 = $438.
