  1. A car travels 312 miles on 12 gallons of gas. What is the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon?

    Answer: 26 mpg

    312 ÷ 12 = 26 miles per gallon.

  2. What is 15% of 240?

    Answer: 36

    240 × 0.15 = 36.

  3. Which expression equals 48?

    Answer: 50 − 3²

    50 − 3² = 50 − 9 = 41... wait — 6 × 7 + 3 = 42 + 3 = 45; 4² + 30 = 16 + 30 = 46; 8 × 5 + 7 = 40 + 7 = 47; 50 − 3 + 1 = 48. The correct choice is 6 × 8 = 48 — here 6 × (7 + 1) = 48. Answer: 4² + 32 = 48.

  4. An item costs $85 after a 15% discount. What was the original price?

    Answer: $100.00

    Original × 0.85 = $85, so original = $85 ÷ 0.85 = $100.00.

  5. A rectangle has a length of 9.5 cm and a width of 4 cm. What is its area?

    Answer: 38 cm²

    Area = 9.5 × 4 = 38 cm².

  6. Simplify: 5/6 − 1/4

    Answer: 7/12

    5/6 − 1/4 = 10/12 − 3/12 = 7/12.

  7. If x = −3 and y = 4, what is the value of 2x² − y?

    Answer: 14

    2(−3)² − 4 = 2(9) − 4 = 18 − 4 = 14.
